About the 1911 Half Crown George V (1st type)
The George V 1st type coin, minted in 1911, represents a significant period in British numismatic history as it was one of the first coins issued under King George V's reign following the death of his father, King Edward VII. Struck at the Royal Mint in Tower Hill, this coin features a striking design by the renowned engraver Sir Edward Alfred Jones, showcasing the king’s portrait on the obverse and a classic depiction of St. George slaying the dragon on the reverse, symbolising bravery and national pride. Its circulation condition reflects its historical usage, making it a tangible connection to early 20th century Britain, and it appeals to both novice and seasoned numismatists who appreciate its aesthetic qualities and the narrative it conveys about the era.
