£115.00

A collectable Silver Halfcrown of King William and Queen Mary, dated 1689. This date of Halfcrown has many variants, this example having the first busts on the obverse, and the reverse having the second shield, with no frosting and no pearls to the crown. King William III and Queen Mary II went down in history as the only monarchs to enjoy a joint rule. In 1689, the pair were invited to invade England and take the throne from King James II, Mary’s father – many were annoyed by his Catholic beliefs and feared his new Catholic son would become the next Catholic king. The couple invaded, forcing James to flee to France, and decided to take the throne together. Their reign was pivotal in several ways: it saw the passing of the Toleration Act, the Bill of Rights introduced and Bank of England created. Mary died of smallpox in 1694, followed by William in 1702 after a fall from his horse.

I like the sovereigns I've received so far, I've ordered 6 and received 6 different heads, so it's been a great way to start a collection. It would be great if you had some European and north American sovereign sized coins. The coins I recieved are well packaged and delivered in good time.
