About Us

Welcome to The Half Crown, we are a family-owned and operated coin dealer based in Christchurch, New Zealand. Our passion for numismatics runs deep, with much of our curated collection stemming from years of dedicated personal collecting. Our mission is simple: to offer a high-quality catalogue of fascinating and unique items for fellow enthusiasts and new collectors alike.

Our Diverse Collection

Our inventory spans centuries of history. We proudly feature everything from ancient Roman coins to contemporary currency, including gold, silver and bank notes. Each coin tells a story, and we're dedicated to bringing these stories to you. We are also dedicated to making coin collecting accessible with a wide range of items for every budget.
