This specimen was lot 22205 in Ponterio sale 169 (Baltimore, November 2012), where it sold for $141. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. Farthing, 1734. NGC XF-45 BN." This type is listed for 1730-39 and is fairly common in worn condition. The mint did not produce near enough small change for the industrial boom of the eighteenth century, leading to a proliferation of private tokens. The situation would not be rectified until the reform of 1817.
Recorded mintage: unknown but common.
Specification: 4.93 g, copper, 23 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: S-3720; KM-572.
