This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval history - a cut farthing coin from the 12th century. Crafted by an unknown English artisan, this small metal coin offers us a glimpse into the world of currency and commerce during the Middle Ages. The intricate details on this quarter-sized coin are truly impressive. Its delicate design features symbols and markings that were once used to denote its value in British currency. As we examine this ancient artifact, we can't help but imagine the countless hands it must have passed through, exchanging hands as people went about their daily lives in medieval Britain. Numismatics enthusiasts will appreciate the significance of this rare find. The Royal Mint Museum in Llantrisant, UK has carefully preserved and displayed this precious relic for all to admire. It serves as a testament to both the craftsmanship of its creator and the enduring importance of coins throughout history.

This cut farthing reminds us that even in times long past, people relied on currency to facilitate trade and shape economies.
