The parts that look really dark at the lower left obverse are really a dark red, not black like the picture kind of looks image

    Why is the date 1999?

    It's a unique pattern created after an unfortunate time-traveling incident in the 27th century caused George V to be transported to late 20th-century Britain to slap some sense into his great-grandson. image

    Edited to add the word "late" and to say I know George V died in 1936. image

    That's a nice coin but the 1999 thing is confusing the crap out of me? Is it two different coins?

    My first guess is it's a 1929 with a little Photoshop work on the date. I think I remember them having a MS64 Geo. V Halfcrown.....fess up.

    It's a nice bit of photoshopping, but it's a '29.

    Like agraded, I saw that puppy up for sale.

    Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes from the Brit collectors who don't have a 1999 Geoge V half crown in their collections.image

    Excellent job of photoshopping!! You have to look closely to see that the two middle nines are the same. image

    I respectfully disagree.

    I think it came from an alternate universe, where India remained a British possession, and George lived to a much riper age than he did in this universe.image
