What happened in 1933?

In 1933, historical events both in the UK and worldwide were taking place, some of which include:

• The 21st Amendment was ratified in the United States, which ended the Prohibition era
• The first drive-in theater opened in New Jersey, USA, a new concept in entertainment
• King Kong, the iconic movie, was released, becoming an instant classic
• The first issue of Newsweek was published, becoming a popular weekly news magazine
• The UK Prime Minister was Ramsay MacDonald, leading the country during a challenging time

During 1933, coins that were in circulation in the UK include:

• The gold sovereign coin was not produced for circulation in 1933 due to the global economic depression of the time, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after sovereigns among collectors.
• In 1933, the Royal Mint produced 10,001 halfpenny coins featuring a design with the words “FID DEF” (short for “Fidei Defensor,” meaning “Defender of the Faith”) in small letters. This design was meant to be used for the 1934 halfpenny, but due to an error, a small number of halfpennies were minted with the 1934 design in 1933, making them extremely rare and valuable.
