What's up fellow plebs?
Continuing the break from German coins, today I present you a piece from the United kingdom:
Some nice toning going on :)
As you can see, the obverse features a portrait of King George VI. I have talked about him a couple times in the past in other British coins so I will leave you with a Wikipedia link instead this time, in the off chance you want to educate yourself on him 😂
In the reverse we have a common symbol in the UK in several variations, a crowned Tudor rose flanked by thistle and shamrock, representing
the union of the four nations that make up the United Kingdom. Once again, this is a topic I have covered in the past, feel free to click here if you want to learn more!
And now let's take a look on the edge:
Sadly, nothing special 😔
When it comes to silver we have a stingy purity of 0.500, with a total weight of 11.31 g. As always, here are some more boring semantics from Numista
