1939 Half Crown .500 Silver - King George VI
£15.00
This 1939 British Half Crown is a historic silver coin issued during the reign of King George VI. Struck in 50% silver, this coin reflects the pre-war era of the United Kingdom and features a detailed rendition of the Royal Arms on the reverse, surrounded by the inscription “FID DEF IND IMP” and the date 1939.
The Half Crown was one of the largest circulating silver coins of its time, valued at 2 shillings and 6 pence, and was widely used throughout the late 1930s and early 1940s. Collectors value these coins for their silver content, classic design, and connection to Britain’s wartime history.
This example comes in a protective plastic sleeve to preserve its condition.
