1850 FARTHING ( GF )

A scarce Victorian farthing from 1850, struck during the reign of Queen Victoria. This copper coin represents a fascinating piece of British monetary history, when farthings circulated widely as everyday currency for small transactions. The 1850 farthing is graded as Good Fine (GF), indicating clear detail with moderate wear consistent with circulation. The obverse displays Victoria's young head profile, while the reverse features Britannia seated with shield and trident—iconic imagery of British imperial power. Farthings were withdrawn from circulation in 1960, making pre-1900 examples increasingly sought after by collectors. This mid-Victorian specimen offers excellent historical appeal and numismatic value for those building a comprehensive British coin collection or studying 19th-century coinage. A genuine piece of Britain's monetary heritage.
