Henry VI half groat replica coin

This was found in Tesco store; it belongs to a game perhaps, if you look carefully you can see the letters KP inscribed. Could represent a real old coin perhaps. After digging around a bit online I soon discover it’s a Henry VI half groat replica coin. Apparently worth 4 pence. This is a cleaned up version and costs £2.49.

Found on pathway; normally the clasps are really good but this one just came loose, it broke. These badges have become more widely available as it used to be the cheaper paper and plastic version. Money collected go towards the armed forces, represented and supported by the Royal British Legion with a ceremony on 11 th November. Why this day; well it represents the cease fire during WWI in 1919.
