Description
Exceptionally Rare Commonwealth 165? Bristol Farthing.
Interestingly whoever created the coin die have spelt Bristol with two L’s, I have tried to research this coin and the only information I have found is the Commonwealth Mint (the former Royal Mint) did not mint any copper coin’s, the lowest denomination was the silver halfpenny. So it was down to towns and city’s to produce there own low denomination coins to keep the bottom end of the economy going, I can’t find another example of a Commonwealth Bristol farthing and so have priced it accordingly.
