No. There are two different 1826 Farthings, and each has variations.
There is the First Issue 1826 British Farthing which has the year below Britannia on the reverse.
Variant 1 - The standard issue coin which appears much as you would expect.
Variant 2 - There is an R/E in GRATIA which is the error.
There is the Second Issue 1826 British Farthing which has a wreath below Britannia on the reverse.
Variant 1 - The standard issue coin which appears much as you would expect.
Variant 2 - An error noted only recently, is the use of the Roman "I" instead of "1" in the date on some coins, ie. I826 instead of 1826 on the obverse.
Variant 3 - There is also the Proof FDC coin.

Why does an 1885 Victorian Farthing depict a young queen?
The "young head" bust of Queen Victoria was used on all British Farthings from 1838 to early 1860. The "laureate or bun head" bust of Queen Victoria, which was more of a "middle age" image, was used on all British Farthings from late 1860 to early 1895. The "Jubilee" bust was never used on British Farthings. The "old or widow" bust of Queen Victoria was used on all British Farthings from late 1895 to 1901. It possibly came down to a matter of economics.
