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. 1931, Great Britain, Penny, King George V, NGC, Graded, Coin, Numismatics, Bronze, Currency, Collectible, Slabbed, Genuine, British Empire, Coin collecting 1931 Great Britain Penny, King George V Coin, NGC Graded Penny, British Numismatics, Rare British Coins, Collectible One Penny, Vintage UK Currency, NGC Certified Genuine, George V Penny 1931, Britannia Reverse Coin IMPORTANT BIDDER NOTICE Bidder is solely responsible for determining value, condition, completeness, authenticity, fitment, grade, and usefulness before bidding.
