Original British George V Penny
The George V Penny is one of Britain's most popular coins. Struck between 1911-1936, it is famed for one date in particular...
It's believed that only six or seven pennies were made in the UK in 1933 because banks already had plenty of them.
Some of these rare pennies were kept by The Royal Mint Museum and the British Museum, while three were buried under new buildings, which was a common practice at the time.
Since no exact records were kept, there was—and maybe still is—a chance that a 1933 penny could appear in circulation, which naturally sparked public interest.
In the hope of finding this rare gem, collectors are always on the hunt for George V Pennies, meaning they rarely appear on the secondary market.
And today, you can secure an original George V Penny for just £9.99 (+p&p)...
