Your description is applicable to every British coin issued in 1979. On the same side of the coin you read "New Pence", there will be a number indicating "how many" New Pence. The 1979 British 1/2, 5, 10 and 50 New Pence coins have long been withdrawn from circulation and have little or no value unless they are in mint condition, and even then, not much. The 1979 British 1 New Penny and 2 New Pence coins are still potentially in circulation, so are worth 1 and 2 Pence respectively, unless they are in mint condition, and even then, not much.
