    1. Michael, sorry but no. Ha’penny is short for half penny. We old fogies who had ha’pennies to buy a bag of chips (penny for a fish) in 1920 know this.
      Clue: The missing coin is worth 60 ha’pennies!

        Yes it’s half a crown! Sorry I didn’t see your comment earlier. Still early days for our website and we are getting used to administering it!
