One would be paying more for the more attractive coin, I assume - let's face it the young Victoria is better looking than G.5, unless your taste runs to middle-aged men with beards  (no offence to readers that may fit that description)

Most of my collection is George V sovereigns. 🤔 😂

Thanks for posting the British Numismatic Society Link.

"in 1918 it was still thought of as a temporary measure and that sovereigns were coming back"

Temporary measure - like income tax?

Yeah I can believe it and also when we were told 20% VAT would be temporary, I’m still waiting for it to go back down to 17.5%. 😆

I’ll be old and grey before that never happens.
