Like any other note, how many beats it is worth depends entirely on the time signature. But it is equivalent to a half note.

The bottom number of the time signature indicates which note equals one beat. In 4/4 time, a quarter note gets one beat, so a minim would be equal to 2 beats. In 2/2 time (or 4/2, or anything else with a 2 on the bottom), a half note is one beat, so also a minim would be one beat.

There are two beats in a minim rest. A minim is a two beat note so a minim rest would be a two beat note where your not playing!

The amount of beats for a Minim depends on the Time signature. If we have a 4/4 time signature then the minim would be two beats.
