The 1844 Victoria Penny/Halfpenny Model were prototype coins issued by Birmingham medallist Joseph Moore (1817–1892) between 1844 and 1848. During this period, the British Government was contemplating replacing the heavy copper coinage then in circulation.

Notably, these model coins gained popularity with the public. However, the Royal Mint explicitly stated that it was not responsible for their production.

What sets these coins apart from others of their era is their bimetallic composition. The outer part was made of copper, while the inner part was originally composed of silver to compensate for the low intrinsic value of copper. In most cases, however, a combination of 60 percent zinc and 40 percent nickel was used.

The design features an outer ring with the words “HALFPENNY MODEL” printed on both the obverse and reverse. Within this outer ring, the obverse displays a youthful portrait of Queen Victoria.
