The obverse is by Bertram Mackennal. A small "BM" can be found on the
bottom back end of the bust.

While the reverse contains the words "ONE PENNY" above a seated picture
of Britannia with a date below.

During 1912, 1918 & 1919 some coins were minted at Ralph Heaton &
Sons, Birmingham and in 1918 and 1919 some were also minted at Kings
Norton, Birmingham.

Coins minted at Ralph Heaton & Sons, have a small H mintmark just left of
the date. Where as coins minted at Kings Norton, Birmingham have a small
KN just left of the date.

The head was modified in 1926 and some small changes were made to the
reverse.

During 1928-1936 the size of George V head was reduced. These pennies
are sometimes called  the small head obverse.

Large Head Pennies With Ghosting
There was a big problem with "ghosting" in this series.
This is where the bust of George V can be seen in the
reverse. This problem was not solved until the issue
of the smaller head penny in 1928.
There are several  different varieties of the George V
Penny and most will only be of interest to the specialist
collector.
The rarer varieties are more desirable and collectible thus
are worth more.
Below you will find links to some different varieties.
