The Quarter & Third Farthing (1827-1913) series of Great Britain in the World Coins contains 115 distinct entries.

To accommodate lower transaction values and facilitate local trade within various British colonies, the Royal Mint issued fractional denominations smaller than the standard quarter-penny farthing. These tiny copper issues included the Third-Farthing (minted 1827-1913 primarily for Malta to align with the local grano value), the Half-Farthing (minted 1828-1856 for Ceylon and later made legal tender in Great Britain in 1842), and the minuscule Quarter Farthing (minted 1839 - 1853 for Ceylon). Though struck primarily for colonial utility, they remain highly sought-after by type collectors as an official, albeit unusual, extension of the British pre-decimal sterling series.
