The one-third farthing was a British coin worth 1⁄2880 of a pound, 1⁄144 of a shilling, or 1⁄12 of a penny. It was minted in copper in 1827, 1835, and 1844, and in bronze in various years between 1866 and 1913. While exclusively authorised for use in the Crown Colony of Malta, one-third farthings are catalogued as British coinage because they are fractions of British currency and Malta otherwise used standard coins of the pound sterling.[1]
