George VI One Penny 1937 - 1948
The penny switched over to the Kruger Gray, or Kangaroo reverse in 1937 though no business strikes were issued until 1938 and continued with the design until 1952. The design features a Kangaroo jumping to the left with 'AUSTRALIA' around the top of the design, 'PENNY' around the bottom and the year right above that, just behind the Kangaroo's legs. The obverse features an uncrowned bust of King George VI facing to the left and the legend, 'GEORGIVS VI D : G : BR : OMN : REX F : D : IND : IMP' ('George VI, by the grace of god, Ruler and King of Britain, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India') and was used up until 1948 then changed because of the independence of India.

George VI 1949 - 1952
The Kangaroo design continued into this type, however after the independence of India in late 1947, 'IND IMP' needed to be omitted from the obverse legend however it wasn't until 1949 that this was done. The obverse stills features an uncrowned bust of King George VI facing to the left however the legend changed to, 'GEORGIVS VI D : G : BR : OMN : REX FIDEI DEF.' ('George VI, by the grace of god, Ruler and King of Britain, Defender of the Faith') and was used up until the end of George VI's reign in 1952.http://www.bluesheet.com.au/
