Title:
One Half Penny
Description:
Obverse shown in photo is a heavily worn/corroded British pre-decimal bronze halfpenny dated 1914. Visible legends include ”ONE HALF PENNY” in the center and the date ”1914” at the bottom. Outer rim legend appears consistent with ”BRITANNIAR: REX: FID: DEF:” (King of the Britains, Defender of the Faith) used on George V copper/bronze coinage. Coin surface shows dark oxidation and patchy corrosion/verdigris, with significant loss of detail; rim is mostly intact. No packaging is present; no barcode or product code visible.
Likely reverse (not shown) would feature Britannia seated with trident and shield for the standard George V halfpenny type. This is an official circulating coin (not a trade token) based on the standard wording and date placement.
