British George V Sixpence or Shilling

This is a circular silver-colored coin featuring the profile of King George V of the United Kingdom, who reigned from 1910 to 1936. The obverse side displays the left-facing uncrowned portrait of the King, designed by Edgar Bertram Mackennal. Surrounding the bust is the Latin inscription 'GEORGIVS V D. G. BRITT: OMN: REX F. D. IND: IMP:', which translates to 'George V, by the Grace of God, King of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.' Based on the visual scale and the specific portrait, the coin likely dates between 1911 and 1936. Regarding materials, coins from this era were minted in .925 sterling silver until 1920, and .500 silver thereafter. The coin exhibits a significant light-colored patina with visible surface wear, particularly on the higher relief points of the King's ear and hair. There are minor abrasions and surface scratches consistent with circulation (bag marks). The rim appears relatively intact with standard reeding likely present on the edge. No visible damage such as piercing or heavy gouging is noted, though the overall strike appears somewhat softened by environmental exposure and handling over several decades.
