1950 FARTHING ( proof )

The 1950 Farthing represents a significant piece of British numismatic history from the final years of this iconic denomination. This proof specimen showcases exceptional striking quality with mirror fields and frosted devices characteristic of Royal Mint proof coinage. The farthing, worth one quarter of a penny, ceased circulation in 1960, making pre-decimal examples increasingly sought after by collectors. The 1950 date marks a transitional period in British currency, offering both historical and collectible appeal. Ideal for those building a comprehensive pre-decimal collection or seeking a premium example of this diminishing currency.
