I don't know, but from the looks I'd strongly guess token.

Model Half Penny not a real coin

worth maybe $3-4 in that condition. Those are akin to private patterns, not official Royal Mint issues. Some have silver (or nickel) centers

No one knows what the hell they are but there's a busload of them at every coin fair. Akin to toy money and certainly not patterns or tokens. Often found bi-metallic with a "silver" centre (center).

I too see them at almost every show.

I think they're interesting.

What MacCrimmon said.

I'm pretty sure it's a Joseph Moore model. It's from the 1840's.

I've never seen one with the "VR" initials on either side of the bust, though. Interesting.

You thought you'd invite competition, eh?
