old coins

[Guest Frances]

I have two coins that I don't know anything about.

One is a 1916 3 pence with an uncrowned pic of George v. On the front is his pic, words that say Georgivs V D.G. Britt:omn:Rex: FD ind: imp: On the back it has a crown with a 3 under it with a ribbon at the bottom. Two vines rise up from the ribbon to nearly encircle the crown.

The other coin has George Vl King Emperor and a pic on the front. The back has (I don't know what that is. It looks like two fried chicken legs with a bite out of each one, crossing each other) I know that's not right. Also, on the back it says New Zealand 1942.

Given my dumb description, can anyone tell me what these coins are.

Thanks

First is a British Threepence, second is a New Zealand threepence.

Both are worth very little unless in mint condition (and even in mint condition they are just worth a couple of pounds)
