The best known low value coin is the "Farthing" (fourthing), one quarter of penny.
Great Britain also produced "Half-Farthings", "Third-Farthings" and "Quarter-Farthings", mostly for circulation in the Colonies.
The Quarter-Farthing was only ever minted during the reign of Queen Victoria and then only for the colony of Ceylon. It was the smallest denomination ever minted by the Royal Mint.
The Half-Farthing British coin was produced in various years between 1828 and 1856 (although proof coins were anomalously produced in 1868). The coin was initially produced in 1828 for use in Ceylon, and again in 1830.
The Third-Farthing was produced in various years between 1827 and 1913.
The coin was produced in 1827 exclusively for use in Malta, but it is considered to be part of the British coinage as at that time Malta was considered more as a part of Britain than in the twentieth century.

British coins are different from all other coins because they are British coins. The coins of all countries need to be different so that we can tell them apart. What is legal tender in one country, is not legal tender in another country.
