It's called a dotted minum
A dotted quarter note. (One beat for the quarter note and half a beat for the dot.)
2 A minim lasts for 2 beats and a semibreve lasts for 4.
Like any other note, how many beats it is worth depends entirely on the time signature. But it is equivalent to a half note. The bottom number of the time signature indicates which note equals one beat. In 4/4 time, a quarter note gets one beat, so a minim would be equal to 2 beats. In 2/2 time (or 4/2, or anything else with a 2 on the bottom), a half note is one beat, so also a minim would be one beat.
