A small number (perhaps in the neighborhood of half a dozen to a dozen) British proof halfpennies were struck on the larger pre-1860 copper planchets and retain the earlier halfpenny design with the date appearing on the obverse of the coin rather than the reverse.

As noted they are extremely rare and will cost you a pretty penny (or halfpenny). A well-known numismatic establishment currently has one for sale at £8,750
