1 Farthing - Anne 'Bello et Pace' Pattern

The 'Bello et Pace' motto — "In War and Peace" — refers directly to the Treaty of Utrecht, signed in April 1713, which ended Britain's involvement in the War of the Spanish Succession. These pattern farthings were struck as part of a broader trial of proposed coinage designs that year, never advancing to general circulation. Anne died in August 1714, and the entire projected copper series died with her reign.
