The quarter farthing was a British coin worth 1⁄3840 of a pound, 1⁄192 of a shilling, or +1⁄16 of a penny. The Royal Mint issued the coins in copper for exclusive use in British Ceylon in 1839, 1851, 1852, and 1853. The mint also produced bronze proofs in 1868. The obverse of the coins used William Wyon's obverse die for the Maundy twopence, bearing a left-facing portrait of Queen Victoria and the legend VICTORIA D: G: BRITANNIAR: REGINA F: D:. Wyon designed the reverse to feature a royal crown
