🏛️ Historical Significance

The Half Crown was a traditional British denomination worth two shillings and sixpence, equivalent to one-eighth of a pound.

This coin was struck in 1935, the year of King George V's Silver Jubilee, celebrating 25 years on the throne.

Following reforms to British silver coinage in 1920, Half Crowns were produced in 50% silver rather than the earlier sterling silver composition.

The 1935 issue represents one of the final years of George V's reign and is an appealing example of historic British pre-decimal currency.
