"Victorian times" covers a period from 1837 to 1901.

A Halfcrown was Two Shillings and Sixpence (or 30 old Pence), which converted to 12.5 New Pence at decimalisation in 1971.

A Halfcrown GBP in 1860 had the purchasing power of about £7.86 GBP today.

NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation based on current exchange rates.
