Lot #26: 1908-1936 UK One Penny Coin Collection

A mixed collection of one Pennys varying from 1910 - 1936 as photographed King George V reigned over the British Empire from 1910 to 1936. His reign saw Britain through World War I and the subsequent reshaping of the global political landscape. Coins from his era are common, but some specific dates or mint marks can be more valuable to collectors. British bronze coinage of this period featured Britannia on the reverse, a symbol of the nation, and the portrait of the reigning monarch on the obverse. These coins were essential for everyday transactions and are a tangible link to the past. Due to the large numbers produced and circulated, common dates in worn condition have minimal numismatic value. King Edward VII reigned from 1901 to 1910, succeeding his mother Queen Victoria. His reign marked a period of significant social and political change in Britain. Edwardian coinage reflected the artistic styles of the time, with detailed portraits and clear inscriptions. British bronze pennies of this era were widely circulated and are commonly found today. The inscription "EDWARDVS VII DEI GRA: BRITT: OMN: REX FID: DEF: IND: IMP:" translates to "Edward VII, by the Grace of God, King of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India."
