The farthing marked the start of a revolutionary coinage reform by Edward I. Until this time, the penny was the smallest denomination. Low value transactions could be conducted using pennies cut into halves or quarters. The act of cutting pennies into quarters or fourths was how the word Farthing or “fourthing” came about. These silver farthings were introduced by Edward I during the recoinage of 1279. They brought about the end of the practice of cutting coins into halves and quarters. The old coinage and the use of pennies cut into farthings remained legal tender until they were demonitised in August 1280. These coins were the smallest silver coins of the early medieval period and were well circulated and are now over 700 years old, and they are much scarcer than the Pennies. We have been putting these aside for many years and are delighted to offer them to you now, for the first time. Available in Fine, while stocks last.

A new coin in a new denomination is a rare event yet this issue from 2015 seemed to go almost unnoticed. This is the very first UK £50 coin and it also features Britannia standing holding a trident and shield in front of a globe. They were only issued in BU, no proofs exist and the mintage was relatively low at 78,644. We recently bought a group of them in their original Royal Mint packaging.
