A commemorative coin issued for the British Exhibition in New York in 1960. The Obverse features a young laurete bust of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, with the ledgend around. In the obverse you'll see the the four quarterings of the Royal Arms.

This Sterling Silver Halfcrown was issued during the first year of World War I, 1914. It was the largest silver coin struck at the time, as no crown for George V would be issued until 1927. You have the bare head of the King facing left and the reverse has the crowned arms within a wreath. All British coins until and including 1919 were struck in Sterling Silver. The coins on offer are in Fine condition and 1914 is not the easiest date to find. This is an interesting coin, an interesting date and one of the last coins from this country to be struck in Sterling Silver.
