Rev.: 1961 Nude St.George as on gold sovereign.
This is a special New year token. It is used in tradition to bake a coin in a cake during New year holidays. It has gold color and images of a gold sovereign that was the largest common currency at the country. The sovereigns are common gold coins in the Island nowadays. That is the reason to make New year token of the type of a real gold coin. This token is especially interesting, not just for posthumous issue of George V (1910-1936), but for the introduction of yet unpublished till now the year 1961.
For the high interest to this first introduction of the year 1961 it was decided to publish it at the Numista catalog. Thus the publication is to be added to the article: New Year Token Type of Sovereign of George V en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces42463.html with images of this very token.
