The British Halfpenny was first produced about 1300 AD to replace the custom of cutting Penny coins in half to achieve the required value.
Many countries of the British Empire/Commonwealth also produced a Halfpenny coin for their respective currencies.
Most of those countries including Australia, Britain, New Zealand and South Africa, to mention a few, produced a Halfpenny coin in 1942.
The US has never minted half penny coins. The US made half cents from 1793 to 1857.
An Australian 1942 Halfpenny minted in Melbourne, has no mintmark. An Australian 1942 Halfpenny minted in Perth has a dot (.) after the (Y) in PENNY (PENNY.). An Australian 1942 Halfpenny minted in Bombay has an (I) below the King's head.
Such a coin does not exist. Canada has not used the British sterling currency system since the mid-19th century. If the coin has no country name on it and has a sailing ship on the reverse, it would be a British Halfpenny.
