Description: | A Post-Medieval copper-alloy farthing of an uncertain monarch. This coin is quite worn and this is the reason why it has not been possible to identify the monarch. The obverse shows a a bust left, possibly laureated. The faint profile of the bust, particularly the nose, might indicate Charles II, AD1160-1685, although Anne, AD1702-1714, and George II, AD1727-1760, are also possible. A monarch later than George II seems unlikely. Obverse legend is illegible. The reverse shows Britannia seated left with an illegible exergue below. Reverse legend is illegible but would have read [BRITTANNIA]. Die axis is 6 o'clock. Weight is 4.82g, diameter is 22.36mm, thickness is 1.85mm.
