Comments

Standardowa waga tej monety wynosiła 1/22 uncji trojańskiej lub 21,8 grama.

Ze strony CoinNews.net Srebrne trzygroszówki Króla Jerzego VI były bite od 1937 do 1945 roku, przy czym szczytowa produkcja wynosiła prawie 8 milionów rocznie w 1940 i 1941 roku. Wszystkie emisje z lat 1942-44 zostały jednak wysłane do Brytyjskich Indii Zachodnich, a ostatnia emisja monety została najwyraźniej uznana za zbędną z powodu publicznej akceptacji 12-stronnej monety niklowo-mosiężnej. Wszystkie srebrne trzygroszówki z 1945 roku zostały nakazane do przetopienia, a ich metal wykorzystano w innych produktach menniczych. Zobacz pełny artykuł tutaj. Automatically translated

The standard weight of this coin was 1/22 troy ounce or 21.8 grains.

From CoinNews.net King George VI Silver Threepence were minted from 1937 to 1945, with a peak production of almost 8 million annually in 1940 and in 1941. The issues of 1942-44 were all shipped to the British West Indies, however, and the coin’s final issue was apparently deemed redundant because of public acceptance of the 12-sided nickel-brass coin. All of the 1945 Silver Threepence were ordered to be melted, their metal used in other mint products. See full article here.
