1925 Threepence George V Silver Coin

Scarce 1925 UK silver Threepence, struck at the Royal Mint in London as part of a low annual mintage of 3,731,859 3d coins.

In 1925, John Logie Baird transmitted the first television pictures, and Benito Mussolini declared himself dictator of Italy. In the UK, Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill controversially restored the Pound to the gold standard, and the British Empire Exhibition closed.
