The Edward VII Halfcrown
divider
The design of the King Edward VII Halfcrown 1902-1910 is, in my opinion, rather magnificent. You have the bare head of the King on the obverse and rather striking crowned coat of arms on the reverse. The Halfcrown or Two Shilling and Sixpence was the largest silver coin regularly issued for circulation in King Edward VII’s reign. The coins are struck in Sterling Silver and his reign and issue of coins was the shortest since William IV (1830-1837). It is a large and beautiful coin, missing from many collections. We recently purchased a dealer’s hoard of this important type coin. They are now available in Very Good and Fine condition, dates will be of our choice and no, there were no rare dates in the hoard, just nice collectors examples, dates available 1902, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909 and 1910.
