Halfcrown

George II (1727-60), Halfcrown 1745, Old draped bust left, roses in angles on reverse.

In 1816, during the end of the reign of King George III, all the old coinage was replaced with new coins and new designs. The Halfcrown was first issued in 1816-1817 but the King hated how they had portrayed him on the coin. So later in 1817 they changed the design to the new smaller head halfcrown. This design lasted only until 1820 when the King died and George IV came to the throne and all the designs changed. The Half Crown is the second largest silver denomination issued, it had a face value of Two Shillings and Sixpence. They were struck in Sterling Silver, dates will be of our choice, but the more you order the more different dates we will try and give you. We have the small head George III Halfcrown available in Very Good and Fine condition, the choice is yours.

British coins were always known for the high quality of Silver that the governments had used in their striking. Going back to King Edward I (1272-1307), the silver was so high quality that the coins were illegally exported, melted down, and lower grade silver was issued in its place. British coins up to and including 1919 were struck in Sterling Silver; the highest denomination struck for regular issue was the Halfcrown. A Halfcrown was Two Shillings and Sixpence or equivalent to 12.5 Pence. The Last Sterling Silver Halfcrowns were issued under King George V from 1911-1919. We have a nice selection of these now difficult to find coins. Dates will be of our choice and the more you order the more different dates we will give you. You have the bare head of the King on one side and a crowned coat of arms on the other side. The coins on offer were struck in Sterling Silver or 925 fine Silver and they are all in Fine condition. Dates are of our choice... A very important, significant and historically important coin. There is just something about a real silver coin…
