1673 Farthing of Charles II
The farthings of Charles II were the first regal issues of copper coins to be struck at the Royal Mint, first issued in 1672. Previous copper farthings had either been struck under licence privately, or as tokens issued by local merchants.
These coins also marked the first time that the image of Britannia appeared on British coins since Roman times. It was rumoured that the model for Britannia used on the reverse was none other than Frances Teresa Stewart, one of King's many mistresses, who later became the Duchess of Richmond.
Obverse:
Laureate bust of Charles II facing left
CAROLVS A CAROLO (Charles son of Charles)
1673
Reverse:
The reverse features Britannia, seated left, holding a branch and spear, her left arm rests on a Union Flag decorated shield.
The legend reads:-
BRITANNIA 1673
