1917 PENNY ( UNC )

# 1917 PENNY ( UNC ) A scarce example of this early 20th-century British penny in uncirculated condition. The 1917 penny represents a significant year in numismatic history, struck during the First World War when copper coinage remained in regular production. This specimen exhibits the characteristic sharp detail and original lustre expected of an UNC-graded coin, with minimal handling marks. The obverse displays King George V's profile, whilst the reverse features Britannia seated with trident and shield—iconic imagery of the period. An excellent addition to any British decimal or pre-decimal collection, offering both historical significance and numismatic appeal. Ideal for collectors seeking quality examples from the early reign of George V.
