Historical significance
The 1967 Half Crown was the last year these coins were struck for general circulation before the UK decimalised its currency in 1971. It represents the end of the £sd (pounds, shillings, and pence) system that had been in place for centuries.
Estimated value
$0.50 - $2.00 USD (Circulated value is near face value; uncirculated specimens may fetch slightly more).
Care & preservation
Keep in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives as this can damage the surface and reduce any numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free coin holder or envelope.
