Halfcrown 1920 Davies 1672N struck in a hard nickel type alloy and weighing 11.92 gr. Trial Nickel Shillings of 1924 exist, with a very rare example struck metrically weighing 5 gr. The Davies 1672N Halfcrown listed here may also be a R.M. trial, when a complete elimination of silver seemed feasible. There appears to be an interesting 'privy' mark, introduced by a thicker downstroke to the 'D' of 'Dei' with the top and bottom serifs of this 'D' being double struck. The border bead above compensates for this downstroke by being oversized. This would be an odd occurrence for any counterfeiter, especially on top of striking perfectly die-cut, but lightweight coins in this hard metal, and having excellent milling. Only 6 of these examples are believed to exist, NF/VG

In addition the reverse has a die crack at 9 o'clock extending to the top left point of the shield and another at 7 o'clock extending through the 1 of the date and extending to the lower point of the shield A/UNC starting to tone, an unusual piece
Halfcrown 1671 1 over 0 VICESIMO TERTIO edge, ESC 469, Bull 468, VG/NVG the reverse with some misty areas around the edge, the overdate clear and beyond dispute, our archive database shows that this is only the second example we have offered in 20 years, so possibly rarer than catalogue values would suggest
