Does anyone know whether exists any information about how many of these coins were struck? The coin in question is a bronce pattern of a decimal coin, dated 1857 with a facial value of 5 Farthings equalling 10 Centimes. Please look at the foto
Tank you very much in advance

Beautiful specimen. Darnfine photograph. Sure would like to have the information that you are seeking, also.
in the Baldwins site, I found the following description:
Demonstrates that the British pained over having to decimalise their currency for a very long time before they finally took the plunge in the early 1960's and started officially planning what finally transpired on 15 February 1971.
