There are 5 variants of this coin with minor differences to the ship.

A British 1799 copper Halfpenny (George III)(depending on the variant), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £225 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £10 to £90 GBP.

A British 1799 copper Halfpenny (George III)(Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £350 GBP.

A British 1799 Halfpenny (George III)(bronzed Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £300 GBP.

A British 1799 Halfpenny (George III)(gilt copper Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £500 GBP.

NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

The Royal Mint produced no Halfpenny coins from 1776 to 1798 inclusive.

Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced.

To get an estimate of value on a privately minted token, you need to provide the details of the inscription on the token.

A (British) 1794 copper "Chichester" Halfpenny token, circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything up to £20 GBP.

These coins were privately minted in the absence of the Royal Mint producing any small denomination coins.

NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal.

Such a coin does not exist.

The first Half-Sovereign coins were issued in 1817 following the Great Recoinage Act of 1816.

The Half-Sovereign coin (10 Shillings) effectively replaced the Half-Guinea coin (10 Shillings and Sixpence).

The Half-Guinea coin was last issued in 1813.
