Notes:

Although there were 2.8m halfpennies minted in 1985, most of these were withheld by the Central bank of Ireland and did not circulate.

  • Survivors are quite rare.

In 1986, only 6,750 halfpennies were struck and these were produced for a BU set. None of these coins circulated but, due to gum seepage on the packaging, many collectors broke up these sets and the individual coins are available to collectors.
