| WILLIAM III SHILLING 1695-1701 |
| There are six different obverse and only one reverse issued for the shilling of William III reign. However obverse two is exceedingly rare and is believed to be unique it could possibly be a pattern. Some however have different issue marks in angles on the reverses. Roses in angles - silver from West of England mines Plumes in angles or below bust - silver from Welsh mines. Due to the "Great Recoinage" during William III reign, hammered silver coins were to be withdrawn and replaced with milled coins instead. A lot of the coins were minted at local mints until 1698 to produce the large quantities required. They have letters below the bust: B= Bristol, C=Chester, E= Exeter, N= Norwich & Y= York. |
