Historical Insight:
1807 was the year the British Parliament passed the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, a defining moral milestone in British and world history. At the same time, Britain was deeply engaged in the Napoleonic Wars, projecting power across Europe and the seas. Coins from this era circulated during immense political, military, and social change.

Collecting Note:
Early 19th-century farthings are treasured for their link to the Georgian period. Wear is common, but details of Britannia and the king’s portrait add strong collector appeal when well preserved.
