Not an easy coin to find in a strong grade reasons being an order in Council for this halfpenny coinage was dated 14th November 1825 but not made current by proclamation until January 30th 1826 there for halfpennies dated 1825 are rarer than 1826 and 1827. In plain English the chatter boxes that run the country took so long to make a decision the year had almost ended, that sounds familiar of today’s chatter boxes. Halfpenny has a weak center reverse otherwise grades good very fine.
