British Silver Three-Halfpence Coins
The British Silver Three Halfpence coins are collectable and were struck by the Royal Mint. The first issue was struck under the reign of King William IV in 1834. The final three halfpence coin was struck in 1862 during the Queen Victoria era. These were currency coins with a value of one and a half pence and had a weight of 0.71 grams. The British silver three halfpence coins were introduced to meet the demand for small currency denominations in the colonies, in Ceylon, the coin was equivalent to four stivers, while in Jamaica, British Guiana, and Trinidad, it was equivalent to a quarter of a real.
