Only a bit? 😎

Worst still is when the unsolicited Elvis coin turns up two weeks later and an invoice for a large sum of money . 😮

Just read the terms and conditions by buying this coin you are signing up to a subscription to receive other coins. Falling to pay the invoices for future coins will result in charges. You'd be in debt to them after a few months. What a scam

Yeh, but it’s a rare coin so swings and roundabouts 😉

The advertising is false. George V was not by a long way Britain's 'First Wartime Monarch'. Plenty of wars under Victoria, even if not on the scale of WW1, e.g. the Crimean War. Never mind the Napoleonic Wars under George III.

And here's me thinking Edward III was a wartime monarch. 😉

Absolutely correct, plenty of great successes against our French friends - but did he issue (half) sovereigns, which seems to be the point here? I thought that they started in 1489,but I don't really know much about them before the early 19th century.

No he didn't. He did introduce the first successful gold coinage of the medieval era though, but I do take your point.
