Edward VII Third Farthing
Edward VII Third Farthings were minted from 1902 to 1910. These coins are small and charming, popular with collectors for their rarity and historical value.
Issued for Malta as their "grano" was 3 to a farthing.
The production run of 288,000 gives an opportunity to demonstrate the elegance of predecimal maths:
There's 3 of these to a farthing, so 12 to a penny. Thus, there's 144 to a shilling, and 2,880 to the pound. 288,000 minted = 100 pounds sterling, on the nail.
