Charles II's copper farthings were the first regal copper coinage struck for England by royal authority — previous small copper pieces had been issued under private licence, most notoriously the Duchess of Richmond's patent under James I. The 1672 issue ended decades of unofficial token coinage that had flooded local trade, a chaotic system the Crown had repeatedly failed to suppress.
The Tin Farthing series that followed in 1684 would prove deeply unpopular, leaving these copper pieces as the more trusted and widely circulated type throughout the reign.
