The First Farthing

The first round farthing was issued from 1279 under Edward I, it was made of silver. Farthings continued to be produced in small quantities for most monarchs up to Edward VI in about 1553, when the last silver farthing was produced.

The First British Copper Coin

Under James I, copper farthings were produced. At first these were produced privately under licence from the Crown, first by Lord Harrington, then by Lennox. the licence changed hands several times, and privately issued copper farthings continued to be produced under Charles I.

After Charles I got the chop, a copper farthing was issued by Oliver Cromwell, bearing his portrait.

Final Issue

The last farthings were produced in 1956.

Obverse

The obverse designs will vary. 

Reverse

The Britannia reverse was designed by Leonard Charles Wyon and features a seated Britannia holding a trident. This design remained on the coins up until 1937.
