George VI, 1938-1947
The obverse for this denomination used Percy Metcalfe’s standard portrait of George VI for British colonial coinages and the existing Edward VII/George V reverse. The mintage figures for 1946 and 1947 are considered unofficial. The same issue occurred with the Newfoundland five cents coins of the era. Published official mint reports do not indicate any mintage of the denomination during 1946, although there appears to be 1946 coins created in 1947. Therefore, mintage figures for 1946 and 1947 are unofficial.
