William III 1689-1702 AD
William III, Silver Sixpence. From the period of the Great Recoinage. This came about after the decision was taken to withdraw hammered coinage in England and replace it with superior milled pieces. The work was done at five provincial mints and was often of doubtful quality because the workforce taken on for this task was inexperienced and time pressure made matters worse. Coming out from this time is a very large number of varieties. This coin dating from 1697 has the 3rd bust of King William and large crowns above the shields.

William III, also widely known as William of Orange, was sovereign Prince of Orange from birth, Stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland and Overijssel in the Dutch Republic from 1672 and King of England, Ireland and Scotland from 1689 until his death in 1702. It is a coincidence that his regnal number was the same for both Orange and England. As King of Scotland, he is known as William II. He is sometimes informally known in Northern Ireland and Scotland as "King Billy".
