Beautiful coin
 

Super,why let your money rot while banks get the dividends.Invest in something you love and win two ways.For me the house is full of Canadian art & antiques.Both going up at a much faster rate then the bank offers and I can use & enjoy them in the meantime.

Also found this as a bit of history....

"The Halfcrown, valued at 2s6d, was introduced as a gold coin under Henry VIII (1509-1547). Production of the hammered gold half crown continued into the reign of James I who minted gold halfcrowns (1603-1619) and also produced a larger sized silver halfcrown (1603-1625). The minting of hammered silver halfcrowns continued through Charles I, with the last hammered halfcrowns produced under Charles II in 1660-1662. The milled silver halfcrown was first produced by Oliver Cromwell in 1656 and 1658 during the Commonwealth, but the first standard regal issue was under Charles II in 1663. Production continued throughout the colonial period with the last halfcrown minted in 1970 under Elizabeth II when Britain changed to a decimal system"

Thanks for looking but the linked coin went unsold. That coin was graded at UNC (realistically a GEF) & mines only a Good VF. However I like my coin better, as there is some discolouring on the other one.

Nice one he sold you, in any case.
