Other than traders tokens, the only coins minted in 1858 would have been gold sovereigns or half sovereigns. They all have Queen Victoria on the obverse with the date under the queen and, "SYDNEY MINT", "Australia" and the denomination on the reverse. Any of these coins would be quite valuable. Apart from the previous, there was no Australian currency prior to 1911. What you probably have is a traders token. There were several Halfpenny tokens minted in 1858 for various traders. You may have something of value, if you can identify the token properly.

Please provide this information for an estimate of value.
