Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Notes:

The weight standard for halfcrowns of this period is 15.00g and at 9.6g this coin falls well below the standard. However the coin appears to be too well producted to be a contemporary copy and wear on the coin suggests that it has seen some circulation. Coins of this type are often of rough and course work.
