The term "Halfpenny" refers to a coin that was worth half of a penny. It was used in various countries, including England and Ireland, primarily before decimalization in the 20th century. The coin often featured different designs over the years, reflecting the reigning monarch or significant national symbols. In the United Kingdom, the Halfpenny coin was commonly used in everyday transactions until it was withdrawn from circulation in 1984. Although it is no longer in use, the Halfpenny remains a part of historical discussions about currency and the evolution of money in British society.
