About This Item

Little Wren

The British farthing (derived from the Anglo-Saxon feorthing, a fourthling or fourth part) was a coin of the Kingdom of Great Britain, a new sovereign state created in 1707 by merging the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland, and later a coin of the United Kingdom, worth one quarter of a penny, 1⁄960 of a pound sterling, a continuation of the English farthing first minted in silver in the 13th century.
 
Interestingly, as of 2010, inflation has given the current British decimal penny a purchasing power of less than half that of a farthing as it was on the eve of the latter's withdrawal on 31 December 1960.
 
The meaning is also something of very little value.
