Decimal Token Coin Half Penny

5 posts • viewed 185 times
Hello, I recently came across an unusual coin and thought I would look it up. It seems that these plastic token coins were produced (prior to decimalisation?), for learning of the new decimal system that came into being around 1971. I can’t seem to find much information about the Halfpenny that I have though as the Penny ones seem to be most prevalent these days. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this coin is collectible or has any value?
Thank you in advance.
It would be a great idea, if you put pictures here from your coins/tokens.
Without pictures and dimensions, you should not expect any serious answer...

Thank you ZacUK for your patient reply. I am afraid this is all new to me so thank you for your help.
Below is a photo of the one I have.

I have one of these as well! The plastic is more red and it’s not in the catalogue. I’m currently abroad so I’ll send pictures of it in a couple weeks.
