George V 1910 - 1936

In 1921 George V was our Monarch, Stalin was appointed General Secretary of the Communist Party, Mussolini became Prime Minister of Italy, Gandhi was arrested for sedition, and The Ottoman Empire fell after 600 years. The BBC had its first radio service in London, Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered and Labour became the main opposition party. The first female Senator was elected in the United States, and the British Empire covered 1/4 of the world. Here are offering you the 1921 Silver Florin to commemorate 100 years of the passing of all of these events. All coins are struck in 500 fine Silver and are in selected circulated condition. Show them to your friends - they will be amazed that you have 100-year old coins in your possession. You can have any or all the coins from 1921, which today are officially antique coins.

What is special about a 1923 Florin? Nothing much except thy will soon be 100 years old. That it was struck under King George V and it was struck in silver. And, Oh yes! The denomination is the most difficult denomination to get. Usually we charge £22.50 for this coin, but we have some pieces that have just come in at just £17.50 each, they are nice selected circulated condition.

As most collectors realize the Florin or Two Shillings is the most difficult denomination to find. The Sterling Silver coinage of King George V was only issued from 1911-to 1919, so they are even more difficult to find than most. The dates will be of our choice, but the more you order the more different dates you will be sent. The coins are in specially selected Very Good - Fine condition and are over 100 years old.

These 1936 silver sixpences have the portrait of King George V on them, but they have a far more interesting history. King George V died and his son became King Edward VIII and most of these Sixpences were struck during the reign of King Edward VIII. In December of that year Edward abdicated and his brother became King George VI. While the portrait is that of King George V who knows who was actually on the throne when they were struck. It is an interesting conundrum which will never be figured out.

In 1926 a Princess, now Queen Elizabeth II was born. Her grandfather King George V was on the throne at the time. The Sixpence was still being struck in silver. John Logie Baird demonstrated TV and the country had a terrible General Strike. For some reason the coins of 1926 are not easy to get. So we were very happy when we were offered a small group of the 1926 Silver Sixpence, a most useful and collected denomination. The coins are used, but in selected circulated condition. Honour our great Monarch, add a silver sixpence of her birth year to your collection. After all Queen Elizabeth II is the longest serving Monarch that this great nation has ever had.

All the coins were originally struck at the Royal Mint and all are struck in .500 fine Silver.

We have just found in a small room a little lot of the 1936 British Silver Sixpences. They are in Choice Uncirculated condition and the date is rather special. In 1936 we had three different Kings, George V, Edward VIII, and of course George VI. While all the coins carry the portrait of King George V, they were actually struck while King Edward VIII was on the throne, he ruled for 10 months in 1936. These are the last George V coins and are in Choice Uncirculated condition. A very small and very nice group of this important 1936 silver sixpence…

In 1936 this country had three Kings, George V, Edward VIII and George VI. All of the coins issued that year carried the portrait of the late King George V, which was tradition with our coinage. No new coins would be issued until the new Monarch was actually crowned. As Edward VIII never made it, there were no British coins issued for this Monarch. The Sixpence is a very popular coin, as it is often given to a bride to wear in her shoe for good luck at her wedding. The coins on offer are in Gem Uncirculated condition, a very high grade examples of the Three Kings Sixpence.
