    georgivs v d.g. britt omn rex f.d. ind imp 1916

    I recently found a coin mixed in with a bunch of regular quarters and what not. I dont expect it to be worth much and its not in a good shape but I actually cant find one like it anywhere. Some similar but nothing like it.

    The heads side says georgivs v d.g. britt omn rex f.d. ind imp around the head. The tails side has a 3 on it with 19-16 on the sides and a crown over the three. There is also vines sort of that start under the three and go almost around the coin.

    Thanks for your help.

    What is that Maundy coinage anyways? Did the Queen of England give it out or does it signify a special date for royalty or something??

    These are ordinary British threepences issued for general use in the UK and many of the Commonwealth Countries until about 1945.

    Before 1920 they are in 0.925 Silver, and after that in 0.500 Silver.

    Most are not particularly scarce, and their value is governed by the bullion value, so around GBP 0.50 for the ones discussed.

    There are scarce dates - most of the date range 1839 to 1860, then 1927 and 1944, 1945.

    They are issued in the Maundy sets as well - right up to the present day - but the Maundy ones would be expected to be near proof standard and in FDC condition.

    The legend is in abbreviated Latin and means: " George V, by the Grace of God King of all Britain, defender of the faith, Emperor of India". No shrinking violets the British Monarchs!
