1928 Threepence George V Silver Coin

Rare and collectable 1928 silver Threepence coin from an annual mintage of just 1,302,106: the lowest of the King George V series.

The reverse displays the classic acorns and oak leaves design, created by George Kruger Gray, paired with Bertram Mackennal's uncrowned portrait of the monarch on the obverse, together with an inscription that reads 'GEORGIVS V D. G. BRITT: OMN: REX F. D. IND: IMP:'.

• These key date coins are struck in solid .500 (50%) silver - the standard for circulation issues in the period
• Minted the same year as the discovery of penicillin and the passing of the Equal Franchise Act
