George V First Coinage
The first halfcrown type of George V carried the same reverse design as those of his father and predecessor Edward VII. From 1920 onwards, the rising price of silver and the need to repay silver borrowed from the Americans to fund the war effort resulted in the debasement of silver coin denominations from 0.925 (sterling) to 0.500 fine.

Four Types - Three Designs
There are four types of George V halfcrowns. The first two types have the first type portrait, and a shield in garter on their reverse. These span the period from 1911 to 1919 inclusive, however an identical design was issue from 1920 to 1926 inclusive. The only significant difference being the silver content. The third type was a short lived issue exsiting from 1926 to 1927 inclusive, which has a slightly modified effigy, showing the engravers initials further back and with more pronounced beading. The fourth type was issue from 1927 to 1936 inclusive, featuring a modified shield design.
