| The obverse was originally designed for use on Edward VIII halfpenny and it is by Sir Thomas Humphrey Pagent. The Britannia design was abandoned in favour of a ship (Golden Hind) design by Sir Thomas Humphrey Pagent. They were produced during every year from 1937 to 1952. After 1948 the title of emperor of India (IND:IMP) was no longer used on the Halfpenny because India had became independent country. |
