I bought a mixed lot off ebay recently and amongst them was this little coin made by moore around 1849 presumably for export over the pond  its in a small size and features a gothic head of victoria with a crown on and calafornia half dollar on the reverse not sure if this is listed in rogers butn I know there are other similar mules as I have one.

I also inclue a picture of the regular large size half dollar that is much more common for reference.

Hope someone with a copy of roger's book can help

Are those three pence coins the same size as the shillings or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

This curious mule is listed in Rogers as Rogers 2467. It is a nice piece to have existed as it proves that the American Model series was made by Joseph Moore, as the Obv die is the same as the Royal Medalet series.

The size difference is not quite correct, as the other model coin you show is a Half Eagle ($5.00) rather than a Half Dollar.

They are indeed smaller. The series ranges in size from 13mm down to 9.6mm for the Threepences.

Thanks for the info Kai good information is hard to come buy on the internet  it really is annoying not having a copy of Rogers.

No problem. A copy did come up on eBay a few weeks ago but has since sold or been ended. Think it was up for about £200.
