Comments

Oryginalna waga tych kawałków wynosiła 43,75 ziaren lub jedną dziesiątą uncji avoirdupois.

Sztuczne przyciemnienie:

KM#788.1; Sp#3963 (1895-1897) jaśniejsze wykończenie
KM#788.2; Sp#3964 (1897-1901) Ciemniejsze wykończenie

Ze względu na fakt, że w niektórych przypadkach nieobiegowe farthingi były podrabiane jako pół suwereny, te wybite w latach 1897-1917 były produkowane ze sztucznie przyciemnionym wykończeniem. Przyjęta metoda polegała na użyciu oparów kwasu do przyciemnienia monet, nadając im "poczerniały" wygląd, jednak na niektórych monetach spowodowało to odcienie do jasnobrązowego.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The original weight of these pieces was 43.75 grains or one tenth ounce avoirdupois.

Artificial darkening:

KM#788.1; Sp#3963 (1895-1897) Brighter finish
KM#788.2; Sp#3964 (1897-1901) Darker finish

Due to the fact that on occasion uncirculated farthings had been passed off as half sovereigns, those struck between 1897 and 1917 were produced with an artificially darkened finish. The method adopted was to use acid fumes to darken the coins giving them a 'blackened' appearance, however on some coins this has resulted in shades down to light brown.
