Halfpenny Coin
£2.00
The Elizabeth II Half Penny coin pack contains an original halfpenny coin of Elizabeth II. The double-sided pack has a hole in which the coin is held in a clear blister, this allows both the obverse and reverse to be clearly seen. The first halfpenny coins were made from silver and were produced in quantity during the reign of Edward I, although a few very rare earlier examples have been found. It was not until 1672 that halfpenny coins were made from copper and then in 1860 that they were made of bronze. During this time, there were 2 halfpennies to a penny and 240 pennies to the pound.
