1836 Halfcrown William IV Silver Coin
Add an 1836 Halfcrown to your collection. These silver coins were issued towards the end of King William IV's short reign. In Britain in the same year, the London and Greenwich Railway opened, Charles Dickens began publishing his first novel, The Pickwick Papers, in monthly instalments, and Charles Darwin returned to England, concluding the voyage of the HMS Beagle. These currency coins feature a distinctive shield design on their reverse, designed by engraver Jean Baptiste Merlen. This is accompanied by William Wyon's elegant right-facing portrait of King William IV. We know that 1,588,752 Halfcrowns were struck in 1836, and these coins remain highly collectable among those interested in the British series.
