Additional information

Class 6–7 farthings fall within Edward I's systematic recoinage program launched after the Statute of Winchester and refined through successive ordinances governing coin weight and fineness. The farthing, as the smallest denomination actually struck in silver rather than cut from pennies, was chronically underproduced relative to demand throughout Edward's reign — surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce, and the Class 6–7 attribution itself relies heavily on subtle differences in lettering and crown form that specialists still debate at the margins.
