The condition isn't the best that I have seen, but it was labeled at £8.00. It was in a room that had 20% off of everything. £6.40 for this piece felt like a pretty good deal, really. At today's price, this piece is around £5.58 in silver. The premium I paid isn't bad, really when you take into account just how many of these I now own.

I need to do some inventory work, I think and count just how many of these I own 😅

More goodies will be gracing the pages of Hive at a later date

Nice job, that's a nice half crown to add to the stack! And over one hundred years old as well, very cool!

Thanks man
I think that the age is what draws me to these. I'm sure I must have nearly 10 of these by now 😅

A half crown and another half crown makes a whole crown doesn't it. I never quite got the hang of the system.
Will we see a Crown one day?
