  • "Why collectors seek this coin"

  • Low proof mintage: With only 20,000 struck, the 1951 proof farthing is a notably scarce issue relative to many mid-20th-century circulating coinages, making it a desirable target for date and type collectors.
  • Proof craftsmanship: Proof strikings are produced with specially prepared dies and planchets, delivering crisp devices and reflective fields that elevate the farthing far beyond its everyday circulating counterparts.
  • Eye appeal: The RB designation highlights appealing original color balance, with warm red tones blending into mellow brown hues, a look many collectors prize on bronze proofs.
  • "Historic context"

    Struck in the early post-war era, the 1951 farthing reflects a period of national rebuilding and renewed tradition in British coinage. Proof issues of this time were produced in limited numbers for collectors, making them enduring keepsakes that capture the artistry and precision of mid-century minting.

    "Collector fit"

    Ideal for:

  • Great Britain type sets
  • Farthing date runs
  • Proof and specimen-focused collections
  • Collectors seeking premium eye appeal in classic bronze coinage

A scarce-mintage proof farthing with attractive red-brown color and strong collectability, the 1951 KM#867 is an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a refined, historically meaningful British proof coin to their collection.
