1935 King George V Silver Threepence
This silver Threepence was struck in 1935 during the Silver Jubilee year of King George V’s reign. Featuring the distinguished left-facing portrait of the King designed by Sir Bertram Mackennal, this attractive coin forms part of the final chapter of the pre-war British silver Threepence series.
The Threepence was an essential denomination within Britain’s pre-decimal currency system and was widely used in everyday commerce throughout the United Kingdom. By 1935 the denomination had become firmly established in daily life, serving as a practical small-value coin for ordinary transactions.
An excellent addition to any collection of George V coinage, British silver coins, or pre-decimal currency.
Historical Background
The year 1935 marked the Silver Jubilee of King George V, celebrating twenty-five years on the throne. Across Britain and the Empire, commemorative events were held to honour the monarch’s long reign and service to the nation.
During this period Britain was emerging from the economic difficulties of the inter-war years, and coins such as this circulated through every level of society. The Threepence remained one of the most practical denominations in everyday commerce until the introduction of the brass twelve-sided Threepence under George VI several years later.
Today, 1935-dated coins attract collectors both for their connection to George V’s Silver Jubilee year and for their place within the final decades of Britain’s circulating silver coinage.
