A Tale of Sixpence

Some coins were among the memorabilia my grandma brought back from her trip to Europe in 1922. I wasn't pleased with how they photographed, so I scanned them on my flatbed scanner. :)

I thought the blue patina looked kind of interesting on this one. With some quick research, I discovered this is a George V, minted in the UK from 1911 to 1927. The date on this coin is 1918.
