The A Pattern 2 Shillings - George V (Uniface Pattern) 1926 coin from the United Kingdom is unique because it features a one-sided design, with the reverse side being blank. This was a deliberate design choice, as the coin was intended to be used as a trial piece for a new coinage system, and the blank reverse side allowed for the testing of different metallic compositions without the need for additional tooling. This coin is a rare and interesting example of numismatic history, and its uniface design sets it apart from other coins of the time.
