Pennies and farthings were coins. They have separate values.

The Penny Farthing bicycle was so named because of the disparate sizes of the two wheels, the front wheel being very large and the rear wheel being relatively very small, like a comparison of the Penny and Farthing coins of the period.
A Penny Farthing was a popular type of 19th century bicycle so named because of the disparate size of the front and back wheels which were likened to a Penny and a Farthing.
