Owner Comments:

The only design change was made to the obverse inscription which now read GEORGIVS SEXTUS REX. This change was made because the king could no longer add emperor "imperator" to his title since Great Britain was no longer considered an empire in 1948. This design remained in use until 1952 when the king passed away.
