There were only two countries that made "halfpennies" in 1967: Great Britain and the Irish Republic. I'm assuming yours is the one that actually says "HALF PENNY", with the ship on it.
These are extremely common. They were actually made from 1967 right up to 1970, all with the "1967" date. It means it's one of the commonest British predecimal coins. Huge hoards of them have been found in bank vaults still in pristine condition, so even uncirculated examples only cost a few cents. A British coin catalogue company even gave away an uncirculated 1967 halfpenny for free with its 2008 edition; it was placed in a little plastic pouch and stapled onto the front cover.
