    BRIEF HISTORY
    : The British pre-decimal halfpenny coin was minted between 1672-1967 and since 1860, in Bronze.  The British
    decimal halfpenny
    coin was introduced in February 1971 to 1984.  The 1971 halfpenny is known for its frequent Double-Die Obverse coins.  The halfpenny featured two different designs on its reverse during its years in circulation.  From 1672 until 1936, the image of
    Britannia
    appeared on the reverse. From 1937 onwards, the image of the
    Golden Hind
    appeared.  Like all British coinage, all halfpennies bore the portrait of the monarch on the obverse.
