http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Halfpenny_coin
The reign of King George V produced halfpennies to an unchanged design every year between 1911 and 1936. The obverse shows a left-facing portrait of the king by Sir Bertram Mackennal, with the inscription GEORGIVS V DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP, and the usual right-facing Britannia on the reverse. Unlike some of the pennies of this reign, no halfpennies have mintmarks from provincial mints. Halfpennies of this reign suffer somewhat from "ghosting", caused by production problems when the image of one side partly comes through to the other; efforts were made to solve the problem with a modification of the king's effigy in 1925, but the problem wasn't finally solved until a second modification in 1928.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_British_penny_(1901-1970)
Pennies were produced in 1911–1922 inclusive, and 1926–1936 inclusive bearing George V's effigy, however the 1933 penny is the great British numismatic rarity of the 20th century — only seven coins were minted, specifically for the king to lay under the foundation stones of new buildings; one of the coins went missing when a church in Leeds was demolished in the 1960s, and its whereabouts are currently unknown.

I have to remember to check regularly if you've asked any questions from now on, you keep surprising me. :P Yes, I imagined Blair, George Bush has to much of a distinctly Texan accent, he'd be anachronistic in a story that takes place in England....and Bush to me seems more like the predecessor. I would definitely imagine him threatening to throw someone out the window, if they went on about being the head of a secret magical government of witches and wizards. "Now see here I don't know who's idea of a joke this is, but unless you want me to kick your rear out the window, you'll get it out of my office. I ain't got time for silly high school pranks" :P Hypothetically speaking if the HP world were real then, Bush along with almost every other world leader would know of the wizarding world. Since every country would have a magical community and it's likely they'd be let into the secret for security purposes....Something to think about. Also Blair is the closest Prime Minister to match, HP's not so accurate in muggle politics' time line. Since he became minister in the May of 97 and, that chapter in HPB takes place in the summer of 96, but still it's a fictional world no need, for technicalities. (Clinton was the U.S' president at the time though, ah ok I'll stop now :P)
