Summary edit

Description

I was about 8 when I got into collecting coins- a hobby that lasted me 3 years. This silver 3 pence from William and Mary's reign (1690s) was a Christmas present from my parents. About 2cm in diameter Mary was daughter of Catholic James II who fled Britain in1689 and lived out his time in France. William, her Dutch Protestant husband was invited to fill the vacant throne. The book is an old atlas of Britain by John Speed- 1650s. I found it in a recycling tip when I was 9. It is pocket sized, moth eaten, and about half complete.

English: This coin is listed in the Standard Catalogue of British Coins under the ID 3440.
