Notes:
In comparison to the dates before and after, the reverse legend of the 1928 Halfpenny has only slight curvature to the base of the letters. The most common 1923 Halfpenny forgery involves removing parts of the left side of the '8' in the date of the 1928 Halfpenny to approximate a '3'. Besides the shape of the resultant '3' being thinner in form, the centre divide is also straight rather than tilted down as occurs on the 1923 Halfpenny. The legend of the 1923 Halfpenny is also straight based when compared to that of the 1928 Halfpenny which is slightly curved.
