George V’s reign was defined by the outbreak of the First World War, which had a massive influence on the making of modern Britain. George V also changed the Royal Family’s familial name to Windsor, ensuring that the British monarchy became a symbol of national unity. 

This historic threepence features a design of acorns and oak leaves, a motif that has long been associated with monarchy, whilst the oak itself is a symbol of England. 

This coin is also available as part of The Making of Modern Britain George V Bundle, which offers collectors the opportunity to own an example of each of the circulating coins of George V’s reign.
