It was named the Penny Farthing because it has one very large front wheel (often as much as 1.5 metres, or 5 feet in diameter) and one smaller wheel at the back. This made people think of an English penny, which at the time was very large, and another coin called a farthing, which was much smaller in relation to the penny.There is a good description with pictures at this site:http://peugeot.mainspot.net/penny-farthing.htmThere was no penny farthing coin. There was a farthing (a quarter of a penny) and a penny as separate coins.

How much is a farthing worth?

Under the now-obsolete £sd (or "Pounds - Shillings - Pence") monetary system in Britain, there were 12 pennies (or "pence") to the shilling and 20 shillings to the pound. A penny was thus 1/240th of a pound. In turn, there were 4 farthings to the penny. Thus, a farthing was worth 1/960th of a pound. The pound is worth (as of May 5, 2011) US$1.65 - the face value of a farthing (if it still circulated) would thus be about 1/5th of a US cent. As a point of information, although the British pound went decimal (100 new pence to the pound) in 1968, the last farthing had been minted in 1956. From a metal standpoint, post-1837 farthings probably contains (at current prices) about 2-3 cents of copper. From a numismatic standpoint, the value would depend on the date and condition of the coin - it could range from a few cents to a few thousand dollars.
