The obverse side of the coin features the regal visage of Queen Victoria, who ruled the British Empire from 1837 to 1901. Her image is framed by the inscription "VICTORIA DEI GRATIA REGINA" (Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen).

In the background, a lighthouse and a ship can be seen, emphasizing the importance of maritime trade and the role of the British navy during the Victorian era. The halfpenny was made of copper, a common material for coins during this time, and was part of the vast array of coins minted during the 1860s. The intricate design and historical significance of this coin make it a fascinating piece of Victorian history. The halfpenny served as a tangible reminder of the British Empire's strength and influence during this period, as well as its commitment to maintaining the safety and efficiency of its maritime trade routes.
