Ken_3567 Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 03/31/2007 12:43 pm Say hello to England's King George the V. He was on coinage from 1912 to 1936. If you're curious, he was followed by King George the VI from 1937 to 1952 to the current monarch Queen Elizabeth the II beginning in 1953. Report this Post to the Staff

chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 04/07/2007 5:05 pm Just as a small correction King George V was first on 1911 coins, which were a controversy in itself. In 1911 the obverse of the coin did not have the latin DEI GRA: which refered to him being King by the grace of God. The term Godless Obverse is used to describe these coins. After much public outrage DEI GRA was put back on the 1912 coins. Edited by chrycopaul 04/07/2007 5:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
