The British farthing (part 3)

Okay, finally, i will submit my introduction to the farthing. The farthing as i said in part 1 is the value of 1/3 of a penny. It has been used for around about a millennia and the most spoken of type is the Charles I "rose" farthing which is sourced from copper alloy. The farthing was used heavily in the Georgian era all the way from the George I "dump" issue coinage to the Victorian bronze coinage of 1860 onwards. In terms of metal detecting these are very common coin finds and are commonly referred to as "coppers". Farthings survived the transition from "hammered" to "milled" and went through early-milled all the way to the pre-decimal coinage of Elizabeth II. CONTINUED ON PART 4.
