1930 Threepence George V Silver Coin

Scarce 1930 UK silver Threepence coin, struck with the classic uncrowned, left-facing portrait of King George V by Bertram Mackennal.

These historic pre-decimal coins feature George Kruger Gray's distinctive oak sprigs and acorns design on the reverse, along with the date (1930). That same year, Britain faced mounting economic pressures and high unemployment as the Great Depression deepened.

• Just 1,319,412 were struck by the Royal Mint, the second lowest mintage for George V 3ds
• No Threepence issued for circulation in 1929, these coins were minted in .500 (50%) silver
