I have a 1852 Quebec bank token. In the obverse it says Half penny. On the reverse states it un soy (penny).Is it an error?

Not an error, that is the way they all are. Just check others 1/2 penny bank tokens and compare.

From Wikipedia:
Bouquet sou were a series of tokens that were created for use primarily within Lower Canada in the mid- to late-1830s. Roughly equivalent in value to a half penny, the "bouquet sou" were so called because they displayed a group of heraldic flowers tied together with a ribbon on their obverse
