It was used during the reign of six monarchs: Victoria, Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII, George VI and Elizabeth II, ceasing to be legal tender in 1960. It featured two different designs on its reverse: from 1860 until 1936, the image of Britannia; and from 1937 onwards, the image of a wren. Britain’s smallest bird. Like all British coinage, it bore the portrait of the monarch on the obverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43349120483585,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/5122\/8972\/products\/DSC04020_53347d43-e4f0-490b-83d1-1ee1665f30c7.jpg?v=1663256496","url":"https:\/\/mullardantiques.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/1925-george-v-british-bronze-farthing-charm","provider":"Mullard Antiques and Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
