Description
James II Crown 1688, S3407, XF40 PCGS, evenly worn with most pleasing, even gray toning, the strike remarkably balanced and quite sharp on both sides, dies perfectly centered (unusual), a little patch of tin flecking to the right of the king's tie-bow, dies only slightly rotated out of register. In all, while worn, this piece is quite appealing in many ways. Last date of just three years of mintage, for poor King James was more or less run out of the country when he took up Catholicism, which led to the famous Bloodless Revolution that ushered in Prince William of Orange and his wife, Mary, daughter of James II. An interesting coin from this period of transition.Metal: Silver
Diameter: 38.61mm
