Getting away from the UK and King George the Fifth for a few minutes, I have another exotic beauty for you all.   This is a 2 Millemes of Egypt dated 1924 (AH1342) in Arabic numerals. It is worn, but an interesting piece showing King Fuad (1922 - 1936) of the dynasty that also gave us Farouk, playboy and coin collector. I can't read the rest of it - but its cupronickel as all low value coins were in Egypt at this time.

Great to see more gold @keith12! Here is a 20 Centavos from Chile dated 1924:

My final 1924 coin is another worn piece - although this one is slightly better than most shown by me lately.   Like Numis Rob said, many of these half silver coins from 1920 onwards had circulated heavily through at least to 1947 and even well up to 1971 and with the shillings and florins up to the 1990s in some cases before the 5p and 10p coins were shrunk in size. Pre 1920 coins were sterling silver and generally less likely to circulate all that time, as by the 1960s, their silver value was more than their face value.
