I have had this one for a while now but just recently took a couple of photos so I could post it for others to see.

No clue if this is common since I mainly search Canadian and US coins and only the odd world coin, so I have no idea if collectors already knew about it and figured I would post it anyway.

On the "N" of "CROWN", you will see split serifs on the top of the "N".

Opinions welcome.

Not much to worry about.
UK based collectors of UK coins do not pay anywhere near as much attention to minor varieties, as US and Canadian collectors do with their respective country's coins.

This sort of extended serif across the Halfcrown series of George V1 quite often seen.
In this condition, coin pictured only of nominal minimum value, if sold by a UK coin dealer.

Thank you sel_69l for clearing that up for me,
That's a shame though, the UK has a lot of nice coins, when I tried looking it up online nothing came up regarding any doubled dies on the reverse and I thought it was odd because it's a fairly big coin and I found it with a loupe pretty much instantly.

I will 2x2 it and keep it as a conversational piece.
