Former UK coin (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

half crown

(Other definitions for half crown that I've seen before include "Former British coin" , "Twelve and a half pence in old money" , "bit out of date" , "Former silver coin" , "In the 17th century, Mary had this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
