1931 Great Britain Copper Penny King George V NGC Genuine
Condition: This coin has been professionally evaluated and encapsulated by NGC with a status of Genuine. It displays a circulated brown patina consistent with its copper composition. The obverse features the left-facing portrait of King George V, while the reverse depicts the seated figure of Britannia. This specimen was minted at the Royal Mint in London as a business strike for general circulation. Historically, this penny belongs to the interwar period of the British Empire, during a time when the large bronze "cartwheel" style pennies were a staple of daily commerce. While the coin is certified as genuine by NGC, it does not carry a numeric grade, likely due to surface conditions or environmental wear typical of copper coinage from this era.
