A boldly struck Penny with full satiny luster, and faintly golden red mint state surfaces." Pennies were struck for George V throughout his entire reign with one basic design. Subtypes exist as the mint modified the bust to improve striking characteristics; the second head (KM 826, shown here) was struck 1926-27. This date is common.
