Obverse: This British one-penny coin showcases the bare, left-facing profile of King George V on its obverse side. Minted in a solid bronze alloy, the portrait is surrounded by a prominent, raised Latin inscription that reads "GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: BRITT: OMN: REX FID: DEF: IND: IMP:". This formal title translates to George V, by the Grace of God, King of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India. A dense, crisp denticle pattern lines the inner edge of the rim to safeguard the coin's design from extensive handling wear.
