Coins and other memorabilia issued between 1914-1918 in one of the countries that formed the Allied Powers, as well as commemorative issues of the end of WWI.
In 1918 towards the end of World War I, the Royal Mint sent Sovereign dies to India to be used in the striking of gold sovereigns. These were the only Indian Sovereigns struck until just recently when some were struck for Queen Elizabeth II. These George V Sovereigns are struck in 22ct Gold and weigh about 8 grams, they are in Extremely Fine condition. A fantastic one-year type coin of King George V and of India. Worth thinking about adding it to your collection, especially at this price! Stock availability is limited, so we can only make available 2 coins per collector.
This King George V threepence is dated 1916, issued during World War I, and most importantly, it is struck in Sterling Silver. Our coinage would be struck in Sterling Silver for just 3 more years. The coins are in Fine condition and have the bare head portrait of the King on one side and a crowned ‘3’ on the other. A nice coin to add to your collection and it is 102 years old.
