This listing is for the photographed 1902 British 1/3 Farthing. Great coin for a collection. Only 288,000 of these third farthings were minted in 1902, making them very scarce today. I am personally surprised that they are not more expensive given their relative rarity.
The third farthing was minted in copper in 1827, 1835, and 1844, and in bronze in various years between 1866 and 1913. While exclusively authorized for use in the Crown Colony of Malta, third farthings are catalogued as British coinage because they are fractions of British currency, and Malta otherwise used standard coins of the pound sterling.
In 1825, the British authorities made British coinage the monetary standard of Malta. On 3 November 1827, a proclamation declared British copper coins the colony's sole legal copper currency and ordered that "a copper coin of less value than the British farthing should be provided for the accommodation of the population".
Although the third farthing corresponded to the British monetary standard, the coins were exclusively used in Malta and were not legal tender in the United Kingdom.
