1937 Proof George VI UK Coin Set
Complete 15-coin 1937 specimen proof set, issued by the Royal Mint to mark King George VI's Coronation. George became King on the abdication of his brother, Edward VIII, in December 1936. He was crowned the following year in Westminster Abbey, becoming the third British monarch of the House of Windsor. This commemorative set includes proof examples of the coinage struck during George V's Coronation year, from a special 1937 silver Coronation Crown (issued only in this year) to a full Maundy set and a nickel-brass Farthing bearing the appealing wren design, the first year this motif was used. Each coin bears Thomas Humphrey Paget's portrait of George VI, bare-headed and facing left, as used on all his UK coinage. These historic proof coins are supplied in the original red leather presentation case from The Royal Mint. System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String] System.Threading.Tasks.Task`1[System.String]
