The 1837 Half-Crown - William IVWilliam IV Silver Half-Crown (on coin as Gulielmus IIII). No circulation crowns were issued in the reign of William IV (although there were some very rare proof versions) so the half-crown was the biggest denomination in general circulation.
This design was used over the years 1831-1837 and is one of the key dates. SCBC 3834.
The Obverse is by William Wyon (initials 'WW' on truncation of neck). The image is the bare head of King William IV facing right. Legend around: "GULIELMUS IIII D:G: BRITANNIAR: REX F:D:".
The Reverse, by Jean B. Merlen, shows a crowned shield bearing the Royal Arms on mantle, at the base the Collar of the Garter. Below: ANNO 1837.Image credit: Museums Victoria
