The Jenny Wren Farthing...
A farthing (derived from the Anglo-Saxon feorthing, a fourthling or fourth part)[1] was a coin of England, Great Britain, and finally of the United Kingdom, worth one quarter of a penny, 1/960th of a pound sterling. Such coins were first minted in England in the 13th century, and continued to be used until 31 December 1960, when they ceased to be legal tender.
This lovely little coin looks even prettier when it has been pierced, filed and polished. An old farthing coin given a fantastic new life as a pendant.
