1953 FARTHING ( PROOF )

# 1953 FARTHING ( PROOF ) A scarce proof striking of the final farthing issue from the reign of King George VI. This 1953 example represents the last year of farthing production before the denomination was withdrawn from circulation in 1960. Proof coins were struck in limited quantities for collectors and presentation purposes, making them considerably rarer than their circulation counterparts. The proof finish delivers exceptional detail and mirror fields characteristic of Royal Mint proof coinage from this era. An essential addition for collectors of British decimal currency and the George VI numismatic series.
