Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pence - George V (3rd issue; incl. Maundy) 1926-1936 coin from the United Kingdom is that it was minted with a unique design that features a crowned effigy of King George V on the obverse (front) side, and a depiction of a shield with the Royal Arms on the reverse (back) side. This design was specifically created for the Maundy coinage, which was a tradition started by King Edward I in 1361 where the monarch would distribute coins to the poor on Maundy Thursday, the day before Good Friday. The 3 Pence coin was one of the denominations that were minted for this purpose, and it was only distributed to a select group of people, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item.
