These bronze coins replaced the larger copper halfpennies in 1860 and were a crucial part of British currency during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
These halfpennies were struck in bronze, an alloy primarily composed of copper, tin, and zinc, chosen for its durability.
This coin represents a period of significant change and expansion within the British Empire, and its detailed design reflects the artistry of the Royal Mint during the Victorian era.
