Milled Silver Coins

in the sets.

In 1920 the Royal Mint reduced the silver content from Sterlimng Silver (925 parts fine) to 500 parts fine silver. Something that would last until 1946 when all silver would be removed from our coins. The silver threepence or Joey was the smallest silver coin issued for George V and the first to be struck in 500 fine silver.

We don’t know what happened in 1925, but almost all of the coins seem to be Rare and difficult to find. This is the early design of King George V Silver Threepences with the crowned value on the reverse. They are struck in 500 fine Silver and the coins on offer are in Fine or better condition. The only date of this type that is Rarer is the 1926 with the crowned value. You have the bare head of the King on one side and the Crowned value ‘3’ on the other side. This is an important and Rare date and the first time we have had enough to offer them, but supplies are still short and if you want one, please get in quickly…
