Britain's Smallest Denomination Coin

[krasnaya_vityaz 0]

This half farthing is many things for me, it is my smallest denomination British coin, I do not have the 1/4 Farthing or the 1/3 Farthing, which were not legal for circulation in Britain, however this piece was authorised for use in Britain despite it's diminutive denomination. In practical senses it was basically useless as a denomination, and did not really see a circulation of merit.

This piece is my earliest uncirculated British coin, the smallest denomination, and I like the significance of the small floral treatment on the reverse with the Scottish thistle, the English Rose, and the Irish shamrock.

This is yet another example of a lovely coin purchased years ago, that I liberated out of my banks vaults for a very temporary reprieve home for photographing.

Yet another beautiful coin, Dave!!!

Some day, I will have one, although probably not as nice as yours. I tend to favor circulated coins. They have more history to me, as I can sit and ponder who might have used it, and for what. Plus, they are also more within my budget.

Actually if memory serves correct, I paid under £15 whenever I purchased this coin. These are not to difficult to find in nice grades, they just never really circulated whence they stayed in Britain.
