The 1844 Half Farthing is a coin struck in copper by the Royal Mint.  The obverse features the first uncrowned portrait of Queen Victoria facing left with legend around, this early image of Queen Victoria is often referred to as the young head design. The reverse has a central crowned denomination with the date underneath. There is a rose, thistle and shamrock below the date.

The half-farthing was only struck in copper during Queen Victoria’s reign. In 1842, it was declared legal tender in the United Kingdom, but was demonetized along with other British copper coins on December 31, 1869. At the time it was in circulation, the farthing was worth one-fourth of a penny, or 0.10 pence in today’s money.

This 1844 copper coin had a mintage figure of 6,451,200.
