The next farthings were the first struck by steam power, in 1799 by Matthew Boulton at his Soho Mint under licence. The coin was struck intermittently under George I and George II, but by the reign of George III, counterfeits were so prevalent the Royal Mint ceased striking copper coinage after 1775. Only pattern farthings were struck under Queen Anne as there was a glut of farthings from previous reigns. The British farthing is a continuation of the English farthing, struck by English monarchs prior to the Act of Union 1707 which unified the crowns of England and Scotland into the Kingdom of Great Britain. It ceased to be struck after 1956 and was demonetised from 1 January 1961.
The British farthing (derived from the Old English feorthing, a fourth part) was a British coin worth a quarter of an old penny ( 1⁄ 960 of a pound sterling).
