Obverse: This British one-penny coin displays the classic left-facing, un-crowned profile of King George V on its obverse side. Struck in a robust bronze alloy, the coin features the detailed royal bust surrounded by a highly distinct, raised Latin inscription reading "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 sharp, uniform denticle border marks the inner edge of the rim to absorb friction and minimize facial wear on the profile.
Reverse: Seated Britannia facing right, holding trident and shield with Union Jack, denomination ONE PENNY and date 1920 below.
Circa: 1920
