| Aanvullende informatie |
The switch from silver to copper-nickel in 1947 was driven by acute postwar silver shortages and Britain's desperate financial position following the Second World War — the same year the country was forced to suspend sterling convertibility under American pressure. These were the last halfcrowns struck before Indian independence compelled the removal of "IND:IMP" from the coinage, making the 1947–1948 run a brief transitional window: base metal composition, but still carrying the imperial title that would become constitutionally obsolete on 15 August 1947.
