The halfcrown of 1816 arrived as part of the Great Recoinage — a sweeping overhaul driven by decades of monetary chaos during the Napoleonic Wars, when silver coinage had effectively vanished from circulation and unofficial tokens filled the void. Boulton and Watt's steam-powered presses at the Royal Mint's new Tower Hill facility made this recoinage technically possible at a scale previous generations couldn't have managed.
Benedetto Pistrucci cut the dies, though the portrait here predates his celebrated work on the sovereign. The series was retired almost immediately; a revised portrait replaced it by 1817's later strikings, making the production window exceptionally short.
