Description
William III Shilling 1699, S3518, 5th bust, Roses reverse, AU55 NGC, a wonderful example of this rare type, made near the end of the reign, bearing four Roses on reverse among the shields (to designate it was made from silver mined in the West Country of England), the portrait exceptionally pleasing (small ancient mark in front of nose), legends crisp, reverse among the best ever seen with even sharpness in all features (faint adjustments under the color, as made), broad rims, sharp curved reeding on the engrailed edge, and premium very old iridescent gray toning. Wow! The cataloguer has never seen a better shilling of this variety in 35 years of handling and writing about the finest English coins. Appears to be the Spink reference (2010 SCBC) plate coin.Metal: Silver
Diameter: 25.00mm
