Farthing - 1717 to 1807 - Price Guide
From 1717 to 1807, the farthing featured the figure of Britannia on reverse.
A British copper farthing succeeded the English farthing after England and Scotland were united into the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707. Some British copper farthings were struck in the reigns of George I and George II. By the accession of George III, in 1760, many counterfeits were in circulation, and the Royal Mint stopped minting copper coins in 1775. The next farthings were the first struck by steam power, in 1799 by Matthew Boulton at his Soho Mint, under licence. Boulton coined more in 1806.
