    Description

    This is the 1928 Circulation issue with a mintage of 20,935,200. The 1928 George V smaller portrait coin is a notable piece in the numismatic landscape of the United Kingdom, representing an era of transition in British coinage. Struck at the Royal Mint located at Tower Hill, this coin features a reduced-size bust of King George V, which was introduced in 1928 as part of a broader effort to modernize British coin designs. With a mintage of 143,186,400, it is relatively common, receiving a rarity score of 1 out of 10, making it accessible to collectors. The coin's bronze composition adds to its durability and appeal, while its circulation condition reflects the everyday use it experienced during its time. For collectors, this piece serves not only as a representation of early 20th-century British currency but also as a reminder of the monarchy's influence on numismatic artistry during a period of significant social and economic change.
