Picked up this interesting little thing in Leicester Market the other week, rummaging in the 25P box. I thought at the time, - Wow! I've never come across a half-farthing before. Getting home, I found out that there weren't such things in circulation but they were (as it says on the coin itself) a model, to show people how well the firm could produce medals or tokens. So, not exactly a coin, but very nice even so.
