Comment
Although bearing the portrait of George V, RMM 45 was struck after the accession of Edward VIII and has been included here as part of the story of the development of the nickel-brass threepence.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Pence - George V (Trial) ND (1936) coin is that it was designed by sculptor and medallist, Edgar Bertram MacKennal. He was a prominent artist of his time and his works include several coins, medals, and memorials. The coin features a portrait of King George V on the obverse and a depiction of a crowned shield on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1936 as a trial piece and only a limited number were produced, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
