Brief History:
The Balliwick of Jersey is a British Crown dependency and has been since 1206.
Whilst its pre-decimal coinage has generally followed the British system in terms of denomination value (although they did have 13 pence to the shilling originally), they were identified in a very unusual manner. Each coin is generally identified as a fraction of a shilling.
This resulted in the following coins being classed as fractional farthings for my webiste purposes due to the fact that the 1/48th and 1/52nd of a shilling coins were the equivalent of a 1/4 of a penny (farthing).
