Not a special penny , but one I needed for my date set of George V. I am a sucker for the heavy wood grain toning though.

Beautiful! What results in toning like this? Planchet impurities?

You aren't the only one. I love wood grain bronzes. I've even thought of working on a collection that contains the best quality of such coins that I can locate. Here are my current US-PI One Centavos having a wood grain effect.

Incomplete alloy mix with differential oxidation of the alloy metals.
