Description: Descriptions, images, and documents on the British farthing including token coinages and those from British Colonies.
The farthing was a small silver and later copper coin valued at one-fourth of a penny. The name is derived from the Old English meaning "a fourth part", probably from Old Norse : The farthing coins struck by the authority of the Monarch. Though not techincally "Royal", the farthings of the Commonwealth and Protectorate (1648-1660) are included in this section. There are three main divides to this series. The first period consists of the small silver farthings first struck by Henry III and which continued through the 16th Century. The second period is the copper pieces struck under James I and Charles I. The Commonwealth pieces will be considered as a subsection of this period. The final period is from Charles II through Elizabeth II and relates to the farthing in it's more recognizable form. Patterns, Trials, Proofs, and Current pieces are all dealt with in this section.
