Three ha'pence

My contribution to Tinytuesday.

A silver three halfpence coin.

I am indebted to the Wiki article for the following

The British three halfpence coin was a silver coin worth 1½d or 1/160th of a pound produced for circulation in the British colonies mainly in Ceylon and the West Indies in each year between 1834 and 1843, and also in 1860 and 1862. Proof coins were also produced in 1870.

The coin is considered to be part of the British coinage because it has no indication of what country it was minted for, being made in the same style as the other contemporary coins of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

The coins were made of silver, weighed 0.7 grams and had a diameter of 12 millimetres.

The reverse of the coin, throughout its existence, showed "1½" beneath a crown and over the date, all contained within a wreath.

The obverse of coins minted between 1834 and 1837 show the right-facing portrait of King William IV with the inscription GULIELMUS IIII D G BRITANNIAR REX F D.

(Inscribed IIII not IV)

The reverse can be seen in the Extra photo.
