It depends on the year. Up through 1919, it was sterling silver (92.5% silver), then in 1920 it was reduced to 50/50 silver and copper, and changed again in 1947 to a blend of copper and nickel, with all silver removed.

He took the weight of the crown and then used water displacement to determine the volume. He could then deduce the density of the crown. Various types of metals have different densities. Density is the mass to volume ratio. Or in better terms, how tightly the molecules are packed together in a substance. If the density of the crown was different than that of any other piece of gold, it was not gold. The bath make him weight then die.

What is the value of a complete collection of British Halfcrown coins?
The British Halfcrown coin was first minted in 1549 and last minted in 1967, with a few years missing in between. In the unlikely event that you do have a complete collection of British Halfcrown coins and, depending on the condition of the coins of course, you would have something of great value, considering that the pre-1919 coins were made from .9250 silver. The only helpful suggestion I can make, is to take the lot to a reputable coin dealer for a serious valuation.
