In 1683, a farthing, which was worth one-quarter of a penny, had limited purchasing power but could still buy small items.

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.
