2017 1 oz. Pure Silver Coin - 100th Anniversary of the House of Windsor

The House of Windsor came into being in 1917, when King George V, formerly of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, concerned that his Germanic sounding surname would alienate his British subjects during WWI, changed the name of his dynasty to the more English sounding Windsor. Declaring at a meeting of the Privy Council on 17th July 1917, that “all descendants in the male line of Queen Victoria shall bear the name of Windsor”. The House of Windsor has produced four British sovereigns, George V (1910-1936), his son EdwardVIII (1936), who abdicated the throne to marry the twice-divorced American Wallis Simpson in favour of his brother George VI (1936-1952), and Queen Elizabeth II.
