Interesting fact
The 3 Pence George V coin was minted during a time of great change in South Africa. The coin was introduced in 1925, just a year after the Union of South Africa was formed, which united four colonies into a single country. The coin was minted until 1930, which was also the year that the Statute of Westminster was passed, granting South Africa independence from the United Kingdom. This means that the 3 Pence George V coin was minted during a time of transition and growth for South Africa, as it became a newly formed country with its own identity and independence.
