Freeman numbers for fractionals!

[Colin G. 147]

Hi,

Can someone provide me with the freeman numbers for the fractional farthings from George V, Edward VII and the Victorian Bronze series please?

I am having difficulty locating my copy at present, I know I put it somewhere safe!!!

Many Thanks

I was under the impression that the Victorian half-farthings did circulate in Britain up to 1869 at which time they were known as 'mites'.

[Chingford 166]

Quite right,

Proclamation dated 13 June 1843 Half farthings were made current, hence the design change on the reverse, 1839 was colonial, 1842 onwards English.

Need another coffee, Proclamation was 1842 not 43, must read before posting.

And the reason they're not included in Freeman is because they're copper (in the main) not bronze.
