You may struggle with that one:
http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/monarchs/geor6.html The Penny The first design was issued from 1937 to 1940, and then from 1944 to 1948. All these dates are common. During 1940 the exergual line was doubled. Pennies struck between 1941 and 1943 were all dated 1940. Between 1944 and 1946 the tin content of the bronze was reduced from 3% to 0.5%. Because this alloy tarnished unattractively these coins were artificially toned before issue. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_th..._British_Penny They did Ha'pennies & Irish pennies in 1942 but can't find any images of a 1942 penny

My thanks to Buzzy Bee, Yes it needs to be a 1942 for a special date.
Thanks also to SDSPS for all your information, a 1942 Irish penny would be acceptable. Thanks to all the interest Arthur |
