Best Answer

In 1066, the Halfpenny was an improvised coin. It was a Penny, literally cut in half.

The symbol for the British Penny has long been a lower case "d" for the Roman "denarius" which was a Roman coin predating the Penny.

In all probability, 1 Penny was shown as "1d" and 1 Halfpenny as "½d".
