1915 George V Silver Half Crown
NGC AU 58 – Near Mint State
A superb high-grade example of the 1915 Half Crown struck during the early years of the First World War.
🔹 Obverse
Bare head of King George V facing left, legend:
GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: BRITT: OMN: REX
The portrait shows excellent detail throughout — strong hair definition, sharp moustache and beard detail, and clean fields with only the lightest cabinet friction consistent with the AU58 grade.
🔹 Reverse
Crowned cruciform shields with central garter star, legend:
FID DEF IND IMP
Date below: 1915
The reverse is particularly attractive with crisp shield detail, strong crown definition, and minimal wear on the highest points. The fields remain bright with pleasing original lustre.
