Best Answer

A Halfcrown was Two Shillings and Sixpence (or 30 old Pence), the equivalent of 12.5 New Pence at Britains decimalisation in 1971.

A Halfcrown GBP in 1960 had the purchasing power of about £1.92 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.
