Quarter Farthing - 1839 to 1868 - Price Guide
While quarter farthings were never legal tender in the United Kingdom, they are fractions of the British farthing, which was currency in Ceylon, and traditionally have been catalogued as British coinage. William Wyon designed the reverse to feature a royal crown above the words QUARTER FARTHING and the date. The mint produced bronze proofs in 1868.
