Description

A superb Mint State example of the 1942 George VI Half Crown, professionally graded MS63 by NGC.

Struck during the Second World War, this issue was produced in .500 fine silver, making it one of the historic wartime silver types before Britain moved to cupro-nickel coinage in 1947.

The coin displays:

  • Strong original mint lustre

  • Clean fields for the grade

  • Sharp detail in the King’s hair and ear

  • Well-defined crowned quartered shield reverse

  • Attractive, natural silver tone

An excellent mid-Mint State example — ideal for collectors building a high-grade George VI set in certified holders.
