Comment
The original weight of these pieces was one thirtieth ounce avoirdupois, making them the lightest bronze issues in the British series. Struck for use in Malta, where they corresponded in value with the old Maltese grano, third-farthings were never legal tender in the United Kingdom.Interesting fact
The ⅓ Farthing coin from Malta, issued in 1913 during the reign of George V, is interesting because it was the smallest denomination coin issued by the British Empire at that time, with a diameter of only 13mm.
