United Kingdom: Coin Halfpenny 1831

Coin	Halfpenny 1831
The design of this coin is identical to that of the one penny and farthing coins minted in the same year; the difference is only in size. Typically for British coinage of the time, the denomination (or, indeed, the country of issue) is not spelled out on the coin.
Mint	Royal Mint
Obverse	Bare head of King William IV facing right; around, the legend GULIELMUS IIII DEI GRATIA (William the Fourth, by the Grace of God); below, the date 1831. Incuse on the truncation of the King's neck, the designer's initials "W.W." (for William Wyon).
Obverse Inscription	GULIELMUS IIII DEI GRATIA 1831
Reverse	Figure of Britannia seated facing right, resting her right hand on a shield bearing a saltire of arms, and holding a trident in her left hand; around, the rest of the monarch's legend: BRITANNIAR: REX FID: DEF: (King of the Britains, Defender of the Faith); in exergue, a rose, a thistle and a shamrock combined.
Reverse Inscription	BRITANNIAR: REX FID: DEF:
Edge	Plain
Edge Inscription	None
Notes	The Royal Mint reports indicate that halfpennies were also coined in 1832, 1835 and 1836. These were undoubtedly struck from dies dated 1831 or 1834 and have been included in the respective totals. References to additional information: [Book] Bressett, Kenneth E. 1962.
