This is the 1952 BU issue with a mintage of 1. The George VI 3rd type coin, minted in 1949, is notable for its omission of the phrase 'IND:IMP', reflecting the changing nature of the British Empire following World War II. With a mintage of 65,649,506, this copper-nickel coin is widely circulated and provides an interesting insight into the post-war period in the United Kingdom, where economic recovery was a priority. The depiction of George VI on the obverse, along with the denomination on the reverse, captures a moment in British history as the monarchy began to adapt to a new world order. While it holds a rarity score of 2 out of 10, making it relatively accessible for collectors, its connection to a transitional era in British history and its production at the Royal Mint in Tower Hill add to its significance in numismatic circles. Collectors often seek this coin as a representation of mid-20th century British coinage and the evolving identity of the nation.
