Discover the fascinating history behind the One Shilling coins of 1948 and 1951, issued under King George VI of the United Kingdom. These coins, inscribed with the Latin phrase “FID DEF GEORGIVS VI” (Fidei Defensor – Defender of the Faith), represent the strength, tradition, and resilience of post-war Britain.
The 1948 One Shilling was among the first coins made entirely of cupro-nickel, replacing the earlier silver issues after the economic challenges of World War II. It features the portrait of King George VI by Thomas Humphrey Paget and reverse designs by George Kruger Gray, showing either the English lion atop the crown or the Scottish rampant lion shield.
The 1951 One Shilling continued the same iconic designs, serving as a symbol of national pride during Britain’s reconstruction years and the Festival of Britain. Both coins carry deep historical value and are prized by collectors for their artistry, heritage, and royal legacy.
