Greetings all ...
I noted excited comment from Mick:
> Found: Murchison,South Island ZL,.. Out side tea rooms after a vintage car
>rally had passed through, a one shilling 1916 coin, rather worn with a picture
>of GEORGIVS V DEI GRA:BRITT:OMN:REX on the back ( King George 5th, I suppose)
My Dad told me that the reference to GEORGIVS REX was translated to the
state of soldiers returning from the 14-18 war - "gorgeous wrecks"!
Cheers & 73,
Peter VK6HU
