Design:
- Obverse: Displays a youthful left-facing bust of King George II, with the legend "GEORGIVS II REX" (George II King). This portrayal captures the king early in his reign, reflecting his appearance before the aging that would later be depicted on other coinage.
- Reverse: Shows Britannia seated, facing left, holding a spear and an olive branch, with a shield beside her. The legend "BRITANNIA" is inscribed, and the date "1734" is placed at the bottom, emphasizing the coin's period of issue.
Material: Struck in copper, typical for British farthings of the time, which often served the lower economic strata yet are now prized for their historical value.
Condition: This farthing is in a condition that's expected for its age, with the details of both the king's bust and Britannia visible, though it might show wear consistent with its use over nearly three centuries.
