Halfcrown

PHOTOGRAPH IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COIN SUPPLIED, but all coins provided are 1906 Halfcrowns in Good Fine.

Or better, the reverse retaining its original lustre, Scarce.

Edward VII had a very short reign, 1901-1910, because his Mother, Queen Victoria, lived so long. Much of his coinage is difficult to get and in some cases rather expensive. All of his silver coins were struck in Sterling Silver and a crown was only issued in 1902 for his Coronation. So we offer the Sterling Silver Halfcrown, the largest denomination silver coin stuck for regular usage. It has the bare head of the King on one side and a beautiful crowned shield on the other side. Dates will be of our choice, but no rare dates are included. Available here in Fine condition.

William III reigned with his wife Mary Stuart until her death in 1694. He then ruled as sole monarch until 1702. The coin on offer is the Halfcrown, the second largest Silver coin struck under this monarch. On one side you have the bust of the King, on the reverse you have the arms of England, Scotland, France, (yes, France!) and Ireland, with a standing lion of the House of Orange in the middle, this was because William was Prince of Orange from birth. All of these Halfcrowns are struck in Sterling Silver and they are heavily circulated. Supplies are very limited.

In the short reign of King William IV only one crown was issued and that could cost you up to £40,000. The next largest silver coin was the Halfcrown which was struck for circulation for only four years. It is a rather handsome coin with the bare head of the King facing right and the reverse is the Royal Coat of Arms draped and crowned. It was issued for a very short time and was the largest silver denomination issued at the time. Not an easy coin to find these days but we have some available in both Very Good and Fine condition. This is one type coin that we feel is underappreciated and thus undervalued. This a Very Important type coin, for your collection.

The reign of King William IV was very short 1830-1837. The largest silver coin struck for circulation was the Halfcrown or two shillings and sixpence. No crowns were struck for circulation and the crowns in the Proof Set sell for up to £40,000 each. The Halfcrown was only struck for circulation in 1834, 1835, 1836, and 1837. We have obtained a small group of this important type of coin in Very Good condition. Remember they are almost 200 years old. Dates will be of our choice and the price is just £85 each. The largest silver coin issued for circulation for this monarch.
