This type was struck 1937-46 in substantial numbers and is common today; even the proofs (shown here) are readily available.

The next date with a substantial number of proofs struck was 1950.
Recorded mintage: 9,106,000 plus 26,000 proofs.
Specification: 14.14 g, .500 fine silver, .227 troy oz ASW, 32.3 mm diameter, designed by T. H. Paget and George Krueger-Gray.
