🪙 1831 Great Britain One Farthing
Pre-Victorian British Copper | Reign of King William IV | Iconic Britannia Design
This 1831 One Farthing is a classic piece of British regnal history. While the design originates from the William Wyon "Laureate" series, this specific date was struck during the early reign of King William IV, the "Sailor King." As the smallest standard copper denomination of the time, the farthing was the workhorse of the working class in 19th-century Britain, circulating through the markets and pubs of the Industrial Revolution.

🔍 Item Specifications
Year: 1831
Country: United Kingdom
Denomination: One Farthing (1/4 Penny)
Composition: Copper
Obverse Design: Laureate portrait of the King facing left. Legend: GEORGIUS IV DEI GRATIA. (Note: This 1831 issue utilizes the established George IV dies common for the period).
Reverse Design: A seated Britannia facing right, holding a trident and a shield featuring the Union Jack, with the national flower emblems (rose, thistle, and shamrock) in the exergue below.
Condition: Circulated (Ungraded)
Note: This nearly 200-year-old copper specimen displays authentic circulation wear consistent with its historical utility. You can expect to see honest "pocket wear" on the high points of the laurel wreath and the King's ear, as well as on the knees and shield of the Britannia figure. The copper has aged to a deep, natural chocolate-brown patina. Please inspect the high-resolution macro photos to judge the legend clarity, rim denticles, and overall eye appeal for yourself.
