William III reigned with his wife Mary Stuart until her death in 1694. He then ruled as sole monarch until 1702. The coin on offer is the Halfcrown, the second largest Silver coin struck under this monarch. On one side you have the bust of the King, on the reverse you have the arms of England, Scotland, France, (yes, France!) and Ireland, with a standing lion of the House of Orange in the middle, this was because William was Prince of Orange from birth. All of these Halfcrowns are struck in Sterling Silver and they are heavily circulated. Supplies are very limited.

William III was a Dutchman who married Mary and they ruled as William and Mary. When she died he continued ruling as King William III from 1694-1702. We offer Sterling Silver sixpences of King William III. Because during his reign there was ‘The Great Re-Coinage’ there many different varieties to collect. Dates will be of our choice but all these silver sixpences will be over 300 years old and in Very Good condition. Supplies are very limited and well worth having.
