A copper farthing of Charles I, rose type with single-arched crown, 1636-1644.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The obverse reads CAROLV D G MA BRI. The reverse reads FRA ET HI REX. The whole legend thus reads Carolus Dei Gratia Magnae Britanniae Franciae et Hiberniae Rex<\/em>: Charles, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1613 and 1644 the English Crown granted a series of patents to private individuals, allowing them to mint and issue copper farthings. These were introduced to address a severe shortage of small change, as the Royal Mint did not produce base-metal coins at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full typology of James I and Charles I copper farthings is available at British Farthings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
