Welcome to the forum!
Photos of both sides of a coin are needed for the best responses.
Looks like you have a 1919 quarter from Canada. Here is a link to sold listings.

I don't know this series but I suspect there are some holes in your story.
A "half ounce" sold for big money? What does that mean? Silver coins of this type would not be described this way. Are you sure it wasn't a gold half sovereign?
Your coin shows King George V. He was 54 years old at the time.
Based on prices online, your coin, being heavily worn and scratched, is probably worth a few dollars or so.
The coin you show, a 1919 Canadian quarter, had a mintage of 5,852,262. It is a very common date. The coin had a silver fineness of .925 (the last year Canadian quarters had that level of fineness. The next year the fineness was dropped to .800.)
The actual silver weight is .1728 troy ounce. At $25.00 per troy ounce your coin would have an actual silver value of about $4.32. In the condition shown that is probably all that it is worth. There is nothing special about that coin.
