1962. Hard to find them silver florins...
A few 1947 coins in the mix which is not a good year for detectorists as all our silver coins were minted from then on in cupronickel. Theoretically missing the silver by one year
I like the small buckle (hope it's not a fetish coming on...). I have a similiar one which is one of my favorite finds.

Hmmm. I thought that the Half Crown was minted with silver (here in NZ) up until 1949.

Nope the half crown went copper nickel in 1947 BUT they issued a FULL crown in 1949 that was 50% silver.
