Keyman,if the halfpenny has a ship on it,then it is British or South African.If it has got a kangaroo on it,then it is from Australia.If it has got what looks like a carved figure on it,then it is a New Zealand one,which depicts a tiki,which is a Maori fertility symbol. Aidan.
Half Penny Thanks Aidan for requesting photos. I tried to send photo of the back of the penny which has a ship on it but it said my file was to large. Keyman
If you have a photo program on your computer you should be able to make it smaller and that should make the size smaller too. Speedy
