Virginia Halfpennies are collectible coins produced in the mid-18th century in the Colony of Virginia, specifically between 1773 and 1775. They feature a distinctive design with the denomination clearly marked, often depicting a figure symbolic of Virginia. These coins were created to address a shortage of currency in the colony and were made from copper. Due to their historical significance and limited mintage, Virginia Halfpennies are sought after by numismatists and collectors. They are considered examples of colonial coinage from the United States and are valued for both their rarity and connection to early American history.
