Coin Collecting Tips: George V (1910 - 1936) Farthing -15 November 2022
The head used on the George V farthing was the Sir Bertram Mackennal design used on the larger coins. The reverse carried through from the Edward VII farthing. The principal difference from the halfpenny and penny was that the 'modified effigy' introduced in 1926 continued through to 1936 instead of being replaced by a smaller version in 1928. The new reverse, also introduced in 1926, was a reduced version of that used on the penny and halfpenny from 1927 amd 1925 respectively.
