In 1672, a farthing, which is a quarter of a penny, could buy a small item such as a piece of bread, a handful of seeds, or perhaps a few sweets. It was considered a low denomination, so its purchasing power was limited. Common goods like small fruits or vegetables might also be available for a farthing, depending on the local market. Overall, it represented modest purchasing power in daily life.
A farthing was 1/4 of a penny.
A half farthing is called a "quarter farthing." This term refers to a coin that is worth one-fourth of a farthing, which itself is an old British coin that was worth one quarter of a penny. Although both the farthing and quarter farthing are no longer in circulation, they were used historically in the British currency system.
