A children's game from medieval and early modern England where players throw coins or farthings to see who can toss theirs closest to a mark.
From 'chuck' (throw) and 'farthing' (a small English coin worth one quarter of a penny), describing the simple game's mechanics of tossing coins.
This forgotten game shows that children have played coin-tossing games for at least 500 years—it's essentially the ancestor of cornhole, horseshoes, and modern target games, proving that the human love of 'throwing things at targets' is ancient!
