Here's the deal. During Queen Victoria's
reign, of the British Empire, in 1839, 1851, 1852, and 1853,
there was the quarter farthing of 1.2 grams copper. This is the
smallest copper coin in the history of the British Empire or of
England. This is equivalent to or the weight of 19 barley grains
at 500/7920 grams per grain.

Per wikipedia's article,
Quarter farthing
(British coin)
From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia
The
quarter farthing
was a
British
coin, produced for
circulation in
Ceylon
in various years between
1839 and 1853 (although proof
coins were anomalously produced
in 1868). It is the lowest
denomination
of coin ever minted for
the
United Kingdom. It was worth
1⁄16
penny (0.0625d), or
1⁄3840
pound (£0.000
260 416
666).
The coin is considered to be
part of the
British coinage
because it has no
indication of what country it
was minted for, being made in
the same style as the
contemporary
half-farthing which was
legal tender in Britain from 13
June 1842 to 1869.
Coins were minted in 1839, 1851,
1852, 1853, and the proof issue
of 1868. The 1839–53 coins were
made of copper, weighed 1.2
grams, and had a diameter of
13.5 millimeters. The 1868 coins
were made of bronze or cupro
nickel, but weighed the same and
had the same diameter.
The obverse bears the
left-facing portrait of
Queen Victoria, with the
inscription
VICTORIA D G BRITANNIAR REGINA F
D, while the reverse bears a
crown above the words
QUARTER
FARTHING with a rose with three
leaves at the bottom of the
coin.
The next coin is the
Third farthing.

And the question is, what to do
about the Farthing and the
Farthing Museum? Well, in
1671, supposedly is the first
copper farthings during Charles
II. I can continue to
write this as a book.
Maybe the farthing museum as a
.com was causing me a bit of a
problem. I got into the
hookah lounges, the strip clubs.
Last night the ghost visited me
again at about 3am or so.
I'm not so into this.
Ghost be
gone is what I have to say.
And I have to write this
Farthing Museum as a book.
Bottom line, the Farthing is 24
carob of copper, which is 4.55
grams of copper. The other
farthings are various metal
mixes that represent this 24
carob copper. :). This is
1/72 of a Roman pound of 1728
carob.
If it were to be a 2016 carob
pound, then 24 carob is 1/84.
If a 2304 c pound, then 1/96.
If 2400 c pound, then 1/100. :),
and so forth and so on.
1440 c = 1/60, 1920c = 1/80, and
1800 = 1/75, 800c = 33 1/3. :).,
and 72c = 1/3. :). 144c =
1/6. :). which is 1/6 deben. :).
Or, the earliest farthing, 5.5
grams during William III, born
at Binnenhof at Den Hague, or
The Hague, grandson of James I
of England, VI of Scotland.
1728/ (5.5/500*2640) =
59.504, therefore 1728/60 = 28.8
carob, which is 1/80 of a greek
pound of 2304 carob, therefore,
maybe carrying on ancient greece,
or possibly the byzantine
empire, something like this. :).
1899 Victoria Brittannia Farthing
VICTORIA•DEI•GRA•BRITT•REGINA•FID•DEF•IND•IMP•FARTHING•1899
The bronze
issue of 1860–1901 (which itself
is split between 1894 and 1895
into coins displaying the "young
head" and the "old head" of the
Queen) (although strangely a
copper farthing was produced in
1864 as well as the normal
bronze coin: this is extremely
valuable). The bronze coins
weighed 2.8–3.0 grams, were 20
millimetres in diameter, and the
metal content was 95% copper, 4%
tin, 1% zinc.
Moo Farthing.
