This matches the standard Elizabeth II Half Crown type struck 1953–1967. No distinguishing variety is evident from the description; however, the exact Krause–Mishler (KM) catalog number for this type cannot be confirmed here. Proof\/SMS distinctions (if any for 1966) are not verified from the provided evidence.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cool Coins \u0026 Notes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47371481383081,"sku":"FIQ-CDDB0025","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/2468\/9065\/files\/flipiq-banknote-1_b4e1820b-844a-4384-9895-4a21597f7014.jpg?v=1787346862","url":"https:\/\/coolcoinsandnotes.com\/products\/united-kingdom-1966-half-crown-pre-decimal-pound-sterling-2-shillings-6-pence-circulated-world-coin-item-shown","provider":"Cool Coins \u0026 Notes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
