1920-1927 - George V - Maundy 3 Pence
The British threepence (3d) coin, usually simply known as a threepence or threepenny bit, was a unit of currency equaling one eightieth of a pound sterling, or three pence sterling. It was used in the United Kingdom, and earlier in Great Britain and England. Similar denominations were later used throughout the British Empire, notably in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. REF GEORGE V SILVER THREEPENCE 1911-1936 Source: coinsgb.com The obverse of the threepence is by Bertram Mackennal. The reverse of the first type of threepence is the same as the Victoria threepence with the exception of the date. The second type threepence from 1927-1936 has a smaller bust and a acorn reverse and is minted with .500 debased silver. 1911-1920 Silver, 1.4 grams, 16mm Diameter. 1927-1936 .500 Silver, 1.4 grams, 16mm Diameter REF Threepence (British coin) Source: en.wikipedia.org Years of minting: 1547–1970 Value: 1⁄80 pound sterling Mass: (Silver) 1.20 g (Nickel-brass) 6.8 g Diameter: (Silver) 16.20 mm (Nickel-brass) 21.0–21.8 mm Thickness: (Nickel-brass) 2.5 mm Edge: Plain Compositions: (1816–1919) 92.5% Ag (1920–1946) 50% Ag (1937–1970) Nickel-brass (79% Cu, 20% Zn, and 1% Ni) REF Threepence (British coin) - Early 20th century Source: en.wikipedia.org The reign of King George V (1910–1936) features several changes to the threepence denomination.
