Hi guys,

I got a heavily worn silver coin appears to be King William IV Half Crown.
Its 30mm and 11.68g

Could someone please confirm the identity of this coin.

Is it rare at all?


Thanks in advance.

At 30mm diameter it would be a half crown. Weight should be over 14g, so it has lost a lot of silver!
These are not scarce, even when the date is still present. Dates would be 1834 to 1837.
In that condition, I'm afraid it is worth silver value only.
This is what it should look like:

Perhaps the reverse was ground down to serve as a love token or memento. I have at least one such similar piece in my collection, although it's been done on a shilling or sixpence. The obverse on this one is definitely worn out!
