| Reverse description | The denomination is boldly expressed at centre with the fractional numeral '1/2' in large raised figures dominating the field. The words 'HALF PENNY' arc across the upper portion of the coin in equally prominent letters, flanking the fraction. The date '1979' appears in the lower field beneath the fraction, flanked by raised dots serving as decorative stops. The reverse design is simple and typographic in character, with no additional decorative motifs, allowing the denomination and date to read with maximum clarity. |
