A 1920 British Penny is the same design as all British pennies issued from 1911 to 1926.

The Penny is made from bronze, is 30.81mm in diameter and weighs 9.45 grams.

The obverse has King George V with beard and moustache with the words - "GEORGIVS V DEI GRA BRITT REX FID DEF IND IMP" which is mostly abbreviated from Latin.

The literal definition is - "George V by the Grace of God, King of the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India".

The reverse has the seated female warrior Britannia wearing a helmet, carrying a trident and shield, who is personifying Great Britain. There may be minor differences to the figure of Britannia over successive years.

The words ONE PENNY and the year also appear on the reverse.
