1853 FARTHING ( VF )

A superior Victorian farthing from 1853, struck during the early years of Queen Victoria's reign. This specimen presents in very fine condition with excellent detail retained across both surfaces. The young portrait of Victoria exhibits sharp definition with minimal wear to facial features and hair work, whilst the reverse Britannia remains exceptionally crisp with well-preserved shield details and clear legend lettering. Wear is light and confined to the highest contact points only. An impressive example from the mid-19th century that exemplifies the quality achievable in small copper denominations of this era, particularly valued by collectors assembling premium Victoria farthing collections and those pursuing comprehensive date runs of Victorian coinage.
