UK 1895 - 1900 Farthing but smaller coin

6 posts • viewed 113 times

I have a coin that appears to look just like the UK Farthing of 1895 to 1900, but the coin is only 1.33cm in diameter and weighs only 0.55 grams.  I am not sure if its a fake or a token as it appears to be too small to use as currency.

Hi ZacUK,

It looks like a similar type of coin, but this one is slightly different.  Do you know if it exists on Numista?

That does not look like a genuine coin. The name under the britanna on the reverse lauer? Could be the copy maker? The legend on the obverse is totally wrong as well. 

 No separate page found.  

With the Jubilee portrait it belongs on here >
