The British Penny has been called a Penny since it was first issued in the late 8th century AD.
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".
The only unit of currency in actual use in England in 1066 was the Penny made from gold or silver.Pennies were literally cut in half or quarters to produce Halfpennies and Farthings.
