Denomination and Era: It's a pre-decimal New Zealand coin, worth 1/2d or 1/480th of a pound before New Zealand adopted decimal currency in 1967.
Design: The reverse features a hei-tiki, a traditional Māori carved figure, flanked by Māori scroll designs. This design was created by New Zealand artist Leonard Cornwall Mitchell. The obverse (not fully visible in the provided image) would typically feature the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as she was the reigning monarch in 1964.
Composition: These coins were primarily made of bronze, an alloy consisting of copper, tin, and zinc, though the exact composition might have varied slightly over the years of production.
Historical Context: The New Zealand halfpenny was first introduced in 1940 and was designed to feature distinct New Zealand iconography, coinciding with the Treaty of Waitangi centennial and the New Zealand centennial.
