Victoria 1838 - 1862 Reported Proofs 1870
these coins are also called "three half pence"
It followed the factors of two that the other coins followed. As of 1849 with the florin, there would be a half florin (shilling) a half shilling (6d) half of that is the 3d and then half again the three-halfpenny coin! It was logically a half threepence. What can be said is that the idea didn't catch on.
