Obverse: This vintage British coin represents the iconic large penny denomination, showcasing the classic portrait of King George V modeled by Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal. The wide border is completely framed by the abbreviated Latin title, "GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: BRITT: OMN: REX FID: DEF: IND: IMP:", which proclaims his role as King of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India. The design exhibits a finely textured outer rim composed of tiny, uniform dentiles that help shield the central design elements from excessive friction. This heavy bronze specimen was a staple of daily commerce throughout the United Kingdom and the broader British Empire during the late interwar period.
Reverse: Seated Britannia facing right, holding trident and shield with Union Jack, denomination ONE PENNY and date 1928 below.
