Mint~
No Mint Marks present on coin but I think it was the Melbourne Mint.
A very attractive coin struck to
commemorate the ascension to the English thrown of King George the 6th, the same
coin was struck in the following year and dated accordingly, the 1938 coin is
worth more in the market place than its predecessor due to a smaller mint
quantity than the 1937.
