The dimensions of British Coins varies over the years.

During the 1960's when both the Crown and Halfcrown coins were last issued prior to decimalisation, the Crown was 38.6 mm in diameter and weighed 28.2 grams.

The Halfcrown was 32 mm in diameter and weighed 14.2 grams.

Both coins were made from a copper-nickel alloy.

What is the value of a 1900 Queen Victoria St George silver Halfcrown?

Halfcrown coins do not have St George on them. Please have a closer look at your coin and post a new question. It is possible that you may have a crown and not a halfcrown. The crown's value would be anywhere from £15 (scrap value) to £350 in mint condition. Check the edge too to see which REGNAL YEAR (number of years the queen has been on the throne in Roman Numerals). It could be either LXIII or LXIV. The LXIII is rarer.
