Description: 1939 Irish Half Crown. Only 888,000 made. AU grade/condition. A great piece of history and a great coin. The original minting of the coin from 1928 to 1943 contained 75% silver, a higher content than the equivalent British coin. The silver coins were quite distinguishable as they had a whiter appearance than the later cupronickel variety minted from 1951. The silver coins wore less well*. The subsequent cupronickel coin was 75% copper and 25% nickel. *This makes coins surviving in higher grades more scarce. The half crown (2s 6d) (Irish: leath choróin) coin was a subdivision of the pre-decimal Irish pound, worth 1⁄8 of a pound. The half crown was commonly called "two and six" due to its value of two shillings and sixpence (indicated on the coin itself as '2s 6d'). 1963 Irish Half Crown - XF Grade / Condition - Great Coin - 1963 1/2 Crown Ireland HalfCrown, Authentic
