1 Farthing - Edward I Class 3c

正面描述	Facing crowned bust of King Edward I with a characteristically tapering face, wider at the crown and narrowing toward the chin, a stylistic feature diagnostic of Class 3c. The crown features a curved band with decorative fleurs or points. The royal effigy is rendered in a stylized, flat relief typical of late 13th-century English hammered coinage. A circular legend in uncial Latin script surrounds the portrait within the coin's irregular flan.

附加信息	Class 3c sits within the broader farthing coinage reorganized under Edward I's major recoinage of 1279, which attempted to rationalize the chaotic mixture of clipped, worn, and foreign silver then passing in English trade. Farthings were habitually cut from pennies before this reform — the 3c classification reflects die-axis and lettering distinctions identified by later scholars, not anything the original moneyers would have distinguished. At 0.38g, these were among the smallest silver coins struck in medieval England, and losses to the historical record are enormous. Many were simply lost in soil and never recovered.
