To identify a 1929 one penny coin, look for the date 1929 on the coin. The design of the British penny in 1929 featured a portrait of King George V on the obverse side and a seated Britannia holding a trident on the reverse side. Check for any inscriptions or mint marks to further confirm the authenticity of the coin.
