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.
