Elizabeth II 1958 proof Halfcrown, graded and authenticated by PCGS (Top Pop). Also called 'VIP Proofs', these vanishingly rare British coins appear to have been minted in very small numbers, as few have come to the market, compared with the millions of currency Halfcrowns issued in the same year. They bear the same design: Mary Gillick's first portrait, paired with the classic crowned shield reverse used on all Elizabeth II Halfcrowns. This high-grade proof piece is distinguished by mirrored fields and finely frosted devices. Demand for late pre-decimal proof pieces has risen significantly in recent years, and this 1958 Halfcrown is an important addition to any such collection.

Description Specification Summary

Elizabeth II Proof Halfcrowns

A very large issue of currency Halfcrowns were struck by the Royal Mint in 1958, coupled with a tiny mintage of proof coins (perhaps 10-20), bearing the same design but with a distinct, high-contrast, detail-rich finish.

First Portrait By Mary Gillick

The obverse of this proof coin features the classic first coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by sculptor Mary Gillick, along with the inscription '+ ELIZABETH · II · DEI · GRATIA · REGINA'.

Crowned Shield Reverse

Edgar Fuller and Cecil Thomas designed the reverse of this Halfcrown, which shows a crowned royal shield of arms, flanked by the letters 'E' and 'R' with 'HALF CROWN 1958' below and '+ FID· ·DEF +' above.

British Cupronickel Proof Coin

This is a cupronickel coin, struck in the same metal as its circulating counterpart but with the distinction of a premium proof finish. Probably struck with VIPs in mind, this issue has mirrored surfaces and frosted devices.

Authenticated By PCGS

PCGS only has one of these 1958 proof Halfcrowns in their registry, and they have appeared seldom at auction over the last two decades. This example is supplied sealed in its PCGS Gold Shield holder, graded PR66CAM.
