What do you guys think? Identified - moved to British Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Prior to 1947 they were .500 fine silver, but I can tell from the layout of the legends that this is the "no IND IMP" type (KM# 879) which was introduced in 1949, after Indian independence. All halfcrowns of this type are made of cupronickel - the same composition as American 5 cent coins. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
