Great Britain 6 pence King George V Coinage KM-815a MS64 PCGS silver coin 1920

Great Britain 6 Pence King George V Coinage KM-815a MS64 PCGS silver coin 1920 is a classic British silver issue from the early twentieth century, struck during the reign of King George V. This elegant sixpence belongs to an important period in British history marked by post-World War I recovery, imperial influence, and the continuation of traditional pre-decimal coinage. Certified MS64 by PCGS, the coin preserves strong original detail and attractive mint-state surfaces that highlight the refined artistry of Royal Mint engraving.

The obverse features the left-facing portrait of King George V with a realistic profile, short hair, moustache, and formal royal bust. Surrounding the king is the Latin legend “GEORGIVS V DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX,” framed by a neat denticle border. The reverse presents one of the most recognizable designs in British numismatics: a crowned lion standing proudly atop the royal crown. The lion symbolizes strength, monarchy, and the British Empire, while the detailed crown below displays arches, jewels, ornamental scrollwork, and heraldic styling. The denomination “SIXPENCE” curves along the lower edge together with the date “1920,” all enclosed by decorative linear elements and beaded borders.

Struck in silver and preserved in Mint State condition, this coin represents the enduring tradition of British circulating silver coinage before major alloy changes of the twentieth century. The iconic lion-and-crown reverse remains highly popular among collectors of monarchy, heraldry, and historic British currency. A distinguished addition to any collection of world silver coins or pre-decimal British issues.
