Comments

W 1968 roku w Llantrisant wybito około 40 milionów półgroszy z 1967 roku w ramach przeprowadzki z Tower Hill do Południowej Walii.(Royal Mint Annual Report 1968 Volume No.99 Image 36 - The Royal Mint Museum)

Standardowa waga tych monet wynosiła 80 funtów szterlingów (1/5 uncji lub 87½ ziaren).

Statek przedstawiony na rewersie, który po raz pierwszy pojawił się na półpensówce Edwarda VIII z 1937 roku, jest oparty na Golden Hind Sir Francisa Drake'a, na którym został on pierwszym Anglikiem, który opłynął kulę ziemską w latach 1577-1580.

Jesteśmy wdzięczni Declanowi Magee i członkowi Numista Sjoelund za ich uprzejmą zgodę na reprodukcję poniższych zdjęć, które przedstawiają niektóre z odmian tej serii.

W 1954 roku istniały dwie odmiany rewersu:
Rewers A - L z HALF przy paciorku, mniejsze zęby
Rewers B - L z HALF między koralikami, dłuższe zęby.

W 1956 roku były cztery odmiany awersu/rewersu:
Awers 3 / Rewers C - D z DEI między paciorkami, I z DEI prawie przy paciorku, L z HALF między paciorkami
Awers 3 / Rewers D - D z DEI między paciorkami, I z DEI prawie na paciorku, L z HALF na paciorku
Awers 4 / Rewers C - D z DEI na paciorku, I z DEI między paciorkami, L z HALF między paciorkami
Awers 4 / Rewers D - D z DEI na paciorku, I z DEI między paciorkami, L z HALF na paciorku

W 1957 roku istniały dwie odmiany rewersu:
Spokojne Morze
Normalne (wzburzone) morze

W 1958 roku dostępne były trzy odmiany rewersu:
Rewers E - 18,75 mm od grotmasztu do podstawy morza
Rewers F - 19,00 mm od grotmasztu do podstawy morza
Rewers G - 19,00 mm od grotmasztu do podstawy morza, krótsze zęby graniczne
W 1967 r. i na monecie z 1970 r. występowały dwie odmiany obręczy:
Awers 3 - Normalny (wąski) rant, I z GRATIA bezpośrednio przy zębie
Awers 4 - Szeroki rant, I z GRATII nieco na lewo od zęba.

Bicia próbne z datą 1970 zostały wyemitowane jako część zestawu menniczego "Last Sterling", który obejmował od półkorony do półpensówki i był produkowany przez kilka lat w następujących nakładach:
01/04/71-31/03/72 = 69,763
01/04/72-31/03/73 = 586,554
01/04/73-31/03/74 = 74,293
01/04/74-31/03/75 = 19,814

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

In 1968 approximately 40 million coins 1967 half pennies were minted at Llantrisant as part of the move from Tower Hill to South Wales. (Royal Mint Annual Report 1968 Volume No.99 Image 36 - The Royal Mint Museum)

The standard weight of these pieces was 80 to the pound avoirdupois (1/5 ounce or 87½ grains).

The ship featured on the reverse design, which first appeared on the 1937 halfpenny pattern of Edward VIII, is based on Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hind, in which he became the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe between 1577 and 1580.

We are indebted to Declan Magee and Numista member Sjoelund for their kind permission to reproduce the images below which list some of the varieties for this series.

In 1954 there were two reverse varieties:
Reverse A - L of HALF at a bead, smaller teeth
Reverse B - L of HALF between beads, longer teeth

In 1956 there were four obverse/reverse varieties:
Obverse 3 / Reverse C - D of DEI between beads, I of DEI nearly at a bead, L of HALF between beads
Obverse 3 / Reverse D - D of DEI between beads, I of DEI nearly at a bead, L of HALF at a bead
Obverse 4 / Reverse C - D of DEI at a bead, I of DEI between beads, L of HALF between beads
Obverse 4 / Reverse D - D of DEI at a bead, I of DEI between beads, L of HALF at a bead

In 1957 there were two reverse varieties:
Calm Sea
Normal (rough) Sea

In 1958 there were three reverse varieties:
Reverse E - 18.75 mm from mainmast to base of sea
Reverse F - 19.00 mm from mainmast to base of sea
Reverse G - 19.00 mm from mainmast to base of sea, shorter border teeth
In 1967 & on the 1970 Proof there were two rim varieties:
Obverse 3 - Normal (narrow) rim, I of GRATIA directly at a tooth
Obverse 4 - Wide rim, I of GRATIA slightly to the left of a tooth

The 1970-dated proof strikes were issued as part of the 'Last Sterling' mint set which comprised the half-crown to halfpenny and were produced over the course of several years with the following mintages:
01/04/71-31/03/72 = 69,763
01/04/72-31/03/73 = 586,554
01/04/73-31/03/74 = 74,293
01/04/74-31/03/75 = 19,814
