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.

That coin can't exist. Wheat cents are American coins made from 1909 to 1958. Most Canadian cents have maple leaves on the front, a very different-looking plant from a wheat ear.

Please post a new question with its date.

Canada does not have an official "New Penny". The most recent issues are struck in copper-plated steel and are worth exactly 1¢
