1935 Australia One Penny George V Coin XF

This 1935 Australia One Penny George V coin is a collectible piece of Australian pre-decimal currency, struck at the Melbourne Mint during the reign of King George V. Part of the long-running penny series, the 1935 issue is appreciated by collectors for its classic design and solid preservation.

The obverse features the crowned bust of King George V facing left, designed by Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal, with the Latin legend GEORGIVS V D.G. BRITT: OMN: REX F.D. IND: IMP. The reverse carries the familiar Commonwealth of Australia design with the denomination “ONE PENNY” boldly at its center, framed by inscriptions and decorative beading.

This specimen is graded XF (Extremely Fine), retaining strong detail and sharp lettering with only light circulation wear. The portrait of George V is well-defined, and the reverse shows crisp text and ornamentation, making it an attractive coin for collectors of higher-grade circulated examples.

Its durability, historical significance, and enduring popularity in the numismatic market ensure its status as a staple in Australian coin collections.

Perfect for collectors of Australian pre-decimal coinage, Commonwealth history, or British Empire issues, this coin offers both affordability and historic appeal.
