* The quarter farthing was introduced for use in Ceylon, but did
not later become legal tender in the UK as even at the start of
Victoria' s reign it was of little commercial value. This tiny coin is
however rare (there are only 5 dates available) and has been
accepted into the British numismatic series. It was even
included as a denomination in the Proof set of 1853. As with the
Queen Anne farthing, the Victorian quarter farthing' s rarity was
somewhat exaggerated. The numismatic writer Batty stated in
his work of 1886 that he had only seen one example dated
1853.
