George III Half-Crown Type II: Identification and Value Guide

The George III Type II half-crown is a pre-decimal British silver coin from the reign of George III. The type is identified by its portrait and date, so the exact year matters.

Specifications

The Royal Mint listing gives the Type II half-crown as .925 sterling silver, 14.10 grams and 32 millimetres in diameter. These figures are useful for identification, but a worn or damaged coin may differ.

How much is it worth?

Value depends on date, variety, grade, surface quality and demand. Compare recent completed sales for the same type and grade. The word “rare” in a listing is not proof of rarity.

See the British crown value guide for valuation principles.
