1947 UK Penny


The 1947 UK penny obverse features the bare head of King George VI facing left, with the surrounding legend:

'GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX

F:D:IND:IMP.'

The reverse shows Britannia seated facing right, wearing a helmet, holding a trident, hand resting on a shield, with the words 'ONE PENNY' in the fields, and date below.  A lighthouse is in the background to the left of Britannia.

Photo & Description SOURCE.  I'm unsure on value.

The condition of mine is darker/aged but no damage.  It would probably clean up well.
