Best Answer

Canada has never issued a Halfpenny or half cent coin since Confederation.

Prior to Confederation, any Halfpenny coins circulating in what was to become Canada would have been British Halfpennies. British coins do not have the country name on them.

Until Confederation, private banks such as the Bank of Upper Canada and the Bank of Montreal, issued their own coins and some of the provinces such as New Brunswick and Nova Scotia issued their own coins.

All of these coins will indicate the origin of the coin.

It depends greatly on the type of the coin (several tokens were struck bearing a denomination of half a penny and dated 1812, some are quite common while others are rare or scarce and command much higher prices) and the condition.
