I'm not old enough to remember farthings, since they were withdrawn when I was about 3 years old, but I have seen them - I think they had a robin on the back.
The bird on the back of a farthing was a wren - the smallest British bird for the smallest British coin. I have one on a bobbin somewhere, for luck.
