1/4 Penny - George VI

正面描述	Left-facing uncrowned effigy of King George VI, executed in high relief after a model by Thomas Humphrey Paget. The King is depicted with a bare head, wearing a draped military uniform. The surrounding legend reads GEORGIVS VI REX IMPERATOR, with the engraver's initials HP appearing at the truncation of the bust. The portrait is rendered in a restrained, classical style consistent with British Commonwealth coinage of the period.

附加信息	South Africa's farthing survived into the late 1940s largely because of the penny's purchasing power — a full penny still bought something meaningful, and quarter-penny increments mattered to low-wage urban workers in a racially stratified economy where small denomination accuracy in daily transactions was not trivial. The series spans the entire wartime period, during which the Pretoria mint continued striking bronze despite copper being a strategic metal under Allied supply management. The 1945 and 1946 dates are notably scarcer within the run.
