Comments

The standard weight of these coins was 10/11 troy ounce (436.4 grains).

Varieties:

KM#842, Sp#4048 .500 fine, incuse edge lettering;
KM#842, Sp#4048 .500 fine, incuse edge lettering - error edge *;
KM#842, Sp#4049 .500 fine, Specimen strike in box;

* The non proof 1935 error edge has a large space after 'ANNO' and some missing letters.

Edge lettering orientation:

We have received the following confirmation by the Royal Mint Museum 'We might expect to find specimens with edge lettering aligned towards the obverse or the reverse at random. This is entirely standard and there exists no set rule for the orientation of the edge inscription.'

This design was also issued as .925 sterling silver proof and 22 carat gold proof patterns, both of which have raised lettering on the edge.

This coin was not included in demonetization legislation when decimalization was introduced in 1971. It has been confirmed by the Royal Mint that the coin remains legal tender, having been remonetized with a value of 25 pence.
