Test your knowledge of medieval hammered farthing coins. A farthing was worth a 1/4 of a penny. In medieval times they were made by hand in a mint. They are very small, about the size of your little fingertip, and they were worth the silver they were made from.

This quiz is pretty hard but all the answers can be found on the site www.hammered-farthings.co.uk
