£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.

What can I say? It was a 5 star service for my second visit to Britannia Coin. I have one gripe in that I like to keep paper copies of all paperwork, but I could not print a decent copy of the order confirmation email. No matter I have the coin and it looks great, a good choice. Highly recommended service, well done chaps.

Very sympathetic and patient staff. I kept on changing my mind and someone just rang me up and sorting things out

I like the fact that coins already sold don't clutter-up the website. This is a major annoyance, in many dealers' online lists. Payment is straightforward, and delivery is next-day. That's what customer like.

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.
