George V (1910-1936)
George V was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936 and was King during World War 1. George was the second son of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), and grandson of Queen Victoria. After his death he was succeeded by his eldest son, Edward VIII.
In 1919-20, the Silver price rose dramatically so .925 silver coins began to made in 0.500 silver. Gold Sovereigns were produced in large quantities early in George's reign - over 30 million in 1911 and again in 1912, although there was no bullion sovereigns issued 1918-1924 (Commonwealth mints did continue mintage).

Which Mint: The Royal Mint
The
Royal Mint is the designated place for the UK to mint coins. It dates
back well over 1000 years and is a Government-owned company.
Formed
in the reign of Alfred the Great about the year 886, during the
period 1279-1812 it was generally referred to as The Tower Mint as it
was housed at the Tower of London. The Master of The Royal Mint has
included famous figures such as Sir Isaac Newton.
Since 2010
it has operated as Royal Mint Ltd, a company owned by HM Treasury,
under an exclusive contract to supply all coinage for the UK although
it also produces medals and coins for other countries. It is
currently located at Llantrisant, Wales.
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
The
United Kingdom (UK) is the Union of England, Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland. It is often refered to as Great Britain (GBR). It
has a long, rich history.
The orignal coinage was Pounds,
Shillings and Pence but since decimalisation on 15 February 1971, it
is £1 = 100p, that is One Pound = 100 pence. The coinage of the UK
is also a long history, the Royal Mint being established as long ago
as 886AD when coins were hammered. Today there is perhaps 30 billion
coins in circulation, and many (numismatic) collectors coins and sets
are issued frequently in gold, silver and other metals.

In the angles are four sceptres dividing the shields, two surmounted by orbs, the others by a harp and a thistle.
