Hello all,

At this time I only have a KM catalog and they show 2 different 1/2 crowns for the year 1823 (KM 676 & KM 688), however, they don't tell the difference in the two coins.

The catalog does state that the KM 676 has a small head. Am I to assume (I hate this word) that the KM 688 has a larger head?

Can somebody help me out with this?

Thanks

G'day, I'm quoting Tony CLAYTON here:
"... Halfcrowns of George IV come with two obverses and four reverses, as follows:
Obverse 1: Laureate Head, GEORGIUS IIII D G BRITANNIAR REX F D (1820-4)
Obverse 2: Bare Head, GEORGIUS IV DEI GRATIA, {date} below (1824-9, 1824 version very scarce)
Reverse 1a: Garnished Shield, large crown above, ANNO {date} below (1820-1)
Reverse 1b: As above but with small differences in many places (1821-3)
Reverse 2: Crowned shield with garter on which is HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE, ANNO {date} below (1823-4).
Reverse 3: Garnished shield surmounted by helmet and crown, BRITANNIARUM REX FID DEF around (1824-9, 1824 version very scarce)."

Thanks Peter, This explains it well enough. Later when I get pic's of these coins, I'll post them to this topic for future reference.
