Half Crown

It's from Great Britain. By 1947 their coins became copper-nickel. Would you still like to know the weight?

yes please, im just curious. were they silver prior to 1947?

thank you very much!

The half crown series of Great Britain is an interesting one. Although crown pieces circulated, I suspect that they were relative rare in circulation, just as is the half dollar is scarce in circulation in the U.S. I am currently looking for a young head shield type. Other than that, the type set of British half crowns that I am building is complete from George 111 to current.

I have an almost complete set of all the major types of shilling, going back to Henry V111, and that is also an absorbing and interesting series, well worth numismatic study.
