Diameter: 20.0 mm
Mint / Mintmark: Royal Mint, London (no mintmark)
Obverse: Bare head of King George VI facing left; legend “GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX F:D:IND:IMP:”
Reverse: Wren perched on a branch facing right, denomination FARTHING below, date 1941 above. Design by Harold Wilson Parker.
Circa: 1941 (Reign of King George VI, 1936–1952)
Condition: Very Fine to Extremely Fine – Strong strike and even toning, crisp bird detail, minimal wear on high points.
Notes:
The wren design introduced in 1937 replaced Britannia on the farthing and became an enduring favorite. Wartime issues like 1941 were produced in large numbers, yet examples with full detail and clean surfaces remain collectible.
