STRAITS SETTLEMENTS. 50 Cents, 1920. London Mint. George V. PCGS AU-50. KM-35.2; Prid-37. Dot below bust variety. Far more elusive than the "cross" variety, this example is generally problem free, offering charcoal gray surfaces and a great overall strike. Not often presented for auction, this survivor is sure to entice competitive bidding. According to "The Coins of the British Commonwealth of Nations, Part 2 Asian Territories" by F. Pridmore, in 1918, the Dollar and Half Dollar were authorized to be struck in .600 silver but, in 1920, the standard was reduced to .500. However, some dies with the dot below the bust were already prepared and used to strike Half Dollars before utilization of the new dies began. Estimate: $500 - $700. Provenance: From the BKingdom Collection. Click here for certification details from PCGS.

Pridmore所著的"The Coins of the British Commonwealth of Nations, Part 2 Asian Territories (英聯邦國家錢幣--第二冊亞洲地區)"，1918年海峽殖民地半圓和壹圓獲准以含銀量為.600的銀壓鑄，但在1920年標準降至.500。然而，些許半身像下帶點的模具在新模具啓用之前已經用以打鑄半圓。
