Comment
The original weight of these pieces was 43.75 grains or one tenth ounce avoirdupois.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Farthing coin from the United Kingdom, featuring George V (modified effigy) and minted between 1926 and 1936, is that it was the last coin to be issued with the traditional "farring" or "fourth-penny" design, which had been used since the 17th century. The coin's design was later changed to feature a more modern image of the king, and the farthing denomination was eventually abolished in 1956.
