Please note - Where a class or sub-class is given for
the hammered silver coins, it is my opinion. Further research in some
cases maybe needed to verify.
Farthing
Silver hammered pennies from Anglo-Saxon period to Edward I, were cut
in half (halfpenny) and quarters (farthing) by the moneyers of the day
and probably by traders for small change. Whether by design or good luck,
the reverse crosses were a guide for cutting these pennies.
