New Zealand Half Crown 1933 to 1965

Countries in the British Empire change the 'heads' side of their coins to portray the current monarch, so your 1935 coin has a different king than George V in our picture. But the 'tails' side stays the same from 1933 to 1965.

Half crowns like this dated before 1947 contain 0.227 troy ounces of silver, so part of their value comes from precious metal content. But most of the value comes from coin collector demand. Here is what the coin catalogs say about these neat coins:

worn condition: $5 US dollars
average circulated: $20
fully uncirculated: $200
