What it is
A colour lithograph with halftone the Parliamentary War Savings Committee issued in 1915 as poster no. 9, printed by David Allen & Sons Ld. of Harrow, Middlesex, 76 by 50 cm.
Why it matters
The sheet puns on the coin and the King, the sovereign that will win being both, and tells the reader to invest in the war loan to-day. Its printing line, W.5322, 20M - 7/15, dates the run to July 1915.
What to notice
A British coin bearing the profile of George V above the call to invest.
The King's head, minted into a loan.
