Coins were enamelled to be kept as keepsakes or to be mounted as jewellery.
The value is highly dependant on the condition, I would guesstimate the value around £50
Another advantage might be the date as this is the year that George V became extremely ill from a lung disease.
There is one on eBay at the moment GeorgeV 195?, it has 11 bidders and the present bid is £20, but I expect it will go a fair bit higher.
Log on as a visitor if you are not a member and create a "watch list " and keep an eye on the auction.
Also you can google "enamelled coins" for more information.

Agree with the above. If it has been enamelled then the coin is a jewellery item without any numismatic value because collectors consider it as a damaged coin. But since the half crown was struck in silver it's still worth its precious metal content. Circulated British half crowns dated 1920 up to 1940 contains at least 0.2 oz of pure silver in each with a bullion value of about £1.40. The silver coin was probably enamelled as a gift or deco item during that period. They're interesting and nice, worth more as an item of sentimental value than money. I have a couple of enamelled coin pendants myself.

Enamelled Coins

I remember reading somewhere that it was not uncommon to give enameled coins as gifts in the UK. I guess it started with Queen Victoria coins. It is worth more as a history item that a money one. Most collector consider it a damaged coin. It is not a rare coin for it had a mintage of 11,087,186 . You will need to find the right buyer for it. I would say $10-$20. depending on how good the enameling is.

George V only wore this crown once - at the Delhi Durbar of 1911. It is not to be confused with the Queen Consort's Crown nor the Imperial State Crown which is worn by the British Sovereign at the conclusion of the Coronation ceremony and at the State Opening of Parliament. With George VI relinquishing the title Emperor of India in 1948, the Imperial Crown of India now only has historical interest and therefore not regarded as part of the Coronation or Crown Jewels even though it is housed with them

As it is enamelled it is not worth a lot, about £5.00
If it had been an uncirculated (in Mint condition) coin it could be worth £100.
The enamelling has devalued it that much.
