William IV became king in 1830 at age 62 after the death of his brother (George IV), who had no surviving heirs.
Dubbed 'the sailor king' for his naval service in his younger years, William had not expected to be King.
William did not marry, due primarily to the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, which forbade decendants of George II from marriage without consent from the monarch, or privy council.
William did have a defacto relationship producing many children, none of which were considered legitimate, so had no claim on the throne.
1 halfpenny = 1/2 of a penny = 1/24 of a shilling
= 1/480 of a pound
The first King William IV era UK halfpenny was minted
in 1831, and the last in 1837.
Dates not minted: 1830, 1832, 1833, 1835, 1836
