Great Britain 

Victoria (1837-1901)

Copper 1844 1/2 Farthing 

Circulation Marks

Originally struck for use in Ceylon with
only a Tudor rose below the date (see below), from 1842 they were made legal
tender in the UK and produced with the three national flower emblems below the
date. The standard weight of these pieces was 1/12 ounce avoirdupois (36.5
grains), leading to much criticism that they were far too small a denomination.
The series lasted until 1869 when the coin was demonetized, the last date issued
for circulation being 1856.
