{"product_id":"1272-farthing-edward-i","title":"1272 SILVER FARTHING EDWARD I","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rare farthing struck in 1272, the inaugural year of Edward I's reign. This diminutive silver coin represents the smallest denomination of medieval English currency, essential for everyday transactions among the common populace. Farthings from Edward I's early coinage are notably scarce, as many were lost or melted down over the centuries. The 1272 date marks the beginning of Edward's long and transformative reign, during which he undertook significant coinage reforms and military campaigns. Numismatists value such pieces for their extreme rarity, die characteristics, and evidence of early Plantagenet monetary policy. As a survivor spanning over 750 years, this farthing provides exceptional insight into medieval economic life and the circulation of fractional currency in 13th-century England.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridgeshire Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56569011077493,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0165\/3024\/3648\/files\/1272-farthing-edward-ihammered-coinscambridgeshire-coins-9624913.png?v=1767743603","url":"https:\/\/www.cambridgeshirecoins.com\/en-au\/products\/1272-farthing-edward-i","provider":"Cambridgeshire Coins ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
