A "Penny Farthing" is not a coin, it was a very popular 19th Century bicycle invented in 1871 by British engineer, James Starley.
It was called a "Penny Farthing" because of the disparate size of the two wheels, which were likened to a "Penny" and a "Farthing".
There were Penny coins and Farthing coins, with four Farthings (Fourthings) to the Penny.
