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 ordered the *** £2 Silver Proof colourised version at a very competitive price. I received the coin two days later. The Coin and Certificate of Authenticity were well presented in the Royal Mint Box and nicely wrapped. I cannot fault the service - quite superb.

Fast and easy to order and no surprise charges when it came to checkout Coin was nicely packaged and arrived quickly. Given the condition of the coin inside the pcgs container I'm surprised it got the PF69 rating bit this is my first graded coin so it may just be me being picky Overall very happy with the service provided
