Comment
Varieties exist. Different metal = different coin entriesInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1806 Irish George III Farthing coin is that it was minted during a time of economic hardship in Ireland. The coin was introduced as a replacement for the earlier copper coinage, which had become worn and devalued due to the country's economic struggles. Despite its small denomination, the coin was an important part of everyday transactions and played a vital role in the economy of the time.
