These copper farthings were introduced in 1613 to overcome the necessarily small size of a silver farthing based on intrinsic value. They are cheap and most can be acquired for 2 rather than 3 figure sums, but assembling a high grade collection incorporating all the many marks used would be problematic.</p><p><br /></p><p>James I Harington 1a farthing with mm.
