Contrasting British coins from me: 1828 farthing:  1828 half-sovereign:  This coin could have been exchanged at the time for 480 of the above copper farthings!

Thanks! - Blackadder is one of my favourite shows and the Third one is hilarious in which the Blackadders no longer earls and Princes are now a servant and the Prince is talked into giving a peerage to a commoner and gives Baldrick the earldom to vote for him and he spends the £250,000 on a giant turnip - its comedy gold. And with Blackadder taking the role of the Prince when the Duke of Wellington calls - or burning Johnsons dictionary and making up new words to annoy Johnson. The series ends with Blackadder not dying, but becoming the Prince Regent (George IV) himself and mad king George marrying him to a tree! So much funnier than the true history.  Here is my humble 1828 farthing, not quite on the level of NumisRobs but an interesting piece in itself.
