Product Description
On the obverse side of the coin, you would find the portrait of Queen Victoria. The specific design of the 1895 Half Crown featured the "Old Head" version of Queen Victoria, which depicted her in her later years. In this portrait, Queen Victoria is shown facing left, wearing a small crown on her head, and with her hair swept back. The inscription "VICTORIA DEI GRATIA" can be seen around the Queen's portrait, which translates to "Victoria, by the Grace of God."
The reverse side of the coin features a shield design within a Garter. The shield is divided into four quarters, representing the constituent countries of the United Kingdom: the three lions of England, the lion rampant of Scotland, the harp of Ireland, and the three lions of Hanover. Above the shield is a small crown, and below it, the denomination "HALF CROWN" is inscribed.
The 1895 Half Crown coin has a diameter of approximately 32 millimeters and weighs about 14.14 grams. It is composed of 92.5% silver and contains approximately 0.4209 troy ounces of pure silver. The edge of the coin is typically milled with small vertical lines.
