One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - George VI (Scottish crest; with 'IND:IMP') 1937-1946 coin from the United Kingdom is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced in 1937, just a year after the death of King George V, and it features a portrait of his son, King George VI, who ascended to the throne at the age of 40. The coin was minted until 1946, which was the year that King George VI died and was succeeded by his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. This coin is a piece of history that reflects the transition between these two monarchs and the changing times in the United Kingdom during that period.
