The Halfpenny was usually referred to as a "Ha'penny" (pronounced Hayp-nee) although this could be bent quite a bit by regional accents.
Slang terms used for the Halfpenny would depend on where and when the expression was used.
Two slang terms used for the Halfpenny were -
Bawbee - by a long evolutionary process, this term was ultimately derived from the French "Bas" referring to debased copper coins. Halfpennies, before halfpenny coins were minted, were produced by cutting Pennies in half.
Brown - a very old term.
Slang does not need to make sense, it merely needs to be thought of and spoken by somebody, have an appeal to somebody else, and be reused often enough to become a part of the local idiom.
