1843 HALF FARTHING ( FINE )

A notable rarity from the Victorian era, this 1843 half farthing in fine condition represents one of Britain's most diminutive denominations. Issued during the reign of William IV and early Victoria, half farthings saw limited circulation and remain scarce in all grades. The obverse displays the crowned portrait characteristic of the period, whilst the reverse features a wreath design. Fine examples are particularly sought after by specialists in early 19th-century British coinage and those assembling comprehensive collections of fractional denominations prior to decimalization.
