Straits Settlements Queen Victoria 1/2 cent coins value

Here is a Straits Settlements Queen Victoria 1/2 cent coins price value with complete years as a reference for everyone. Most collectors only had half cent coins for the year 1872H, 1884 and 1889. The proof coins are almost impossible to get because of lower mintage and high price. 1/2 cent Queen Victoria for year 1883 is also one of the coins that is very hard to find. The coin struck in copper from 1872 until 1883 and change to bronze from 1884 until 1901.

Straits Settlements India Straits 1862 coin price

The government of the Straits Settlements was acquired by the British Secretary of State from the East India Company on 1958 to control coins issued through the Accountant General to the Government of India. In 1862, The Calcutta Mint was asked to strike a new copper coins. The 1862 coins were of the same size and weight of the previous issue and the same portrait of Queen Victoria was on the obverse.

The new coin reverse was redesigned, in the previous issue the coin show the fixed date of 1845 and the name "East India Company". The reverse now has the myrtle wreath against the rim and within the wreath the words ONE CENT INDIA STRAITS 1862 on seperate lines. The words CENT and INDIA are underlined in their central portion. The one is replaced by HALF and 1/4 for the lower denominations.

"India Straits" reflecting the Straits Settlements control is via India. Again, in accordance with the 1835 ruling, which ordained that the date on the coins reflect the date of introduction of a new design, the date 1862 appeared on all coins struck for the Straits Settlements between 1862 and 1867 when it became an independent Crown Colony.

The quarter cent is the most difficult of all to find, especially in top grades.

These copper coins had a limited legal tender up to $1.

Straits Settlements East India Co coin price

In 1844, the Governor-General of India authorized the issue of coinage for The Straits Settlements. The first coins issued for The Straits Settlements in 1845 were ¼, ½ and 1 cent denominations in copper. the coins was declared legal tender in Straits Settlements by Indian Act VI of 1847 with effect from 1st June 1847 with a limit of 100 cents=one dollar. The dies for this coinage were engraved by William Wyon, chief engraver at the Royal Mint, London.

An East India Company ruling dated 22 April 1835 specified that "The year of the dies will represent the era of the alteration of the coins and will not need to be changed until a new coin shall be ordered to be struck". This ruling was applied to the Straits issue, it was 1862 before a new design was introduced. The 1845 coins did not arrive until May 1847 so all copper coins introduced to circulation between that date and 1862 bore the date 1845.

The coin obverse show the young potrait of Queen Victoria by William Wyon. Head of the Queen wearing coronet or diadem ornamented with a scroll facing left; around, "VICTORIA QUEEN". The ends of the coronet are connected by a band which is partly hidden by the hair. The hair is drawn into a knot decorated with beads behind the head. The reverse shows a myrtle wreath with denomination value within and with the inscription "EAST INDIA COMPANY" against the plain edged rim.
