I know there were a lot of production errors during the William III series, particularly around the Great Recoinage of 1696-7. The lower denominations were very much affected, particularly at the branch mints. This is somewhat unusual a crown though, but not unheard of for example the GEI variant. Looks like that shilling you had also had some letter under the E of ET, unless it was a dig in the field, looks serifed though.

Sorry, thought it was due to the HAP initials. Thought it looked a bit different but these tickets are a bit of a mystery to me. Sorry, just realised I hadn't finished replying to this - only 9 months too late! The ticket above looks like a Seaby ticket as the HAP /54 refers to the Parsons sale in 1954 from which the coin will have come and the style is correct. It was part of a lot of 13, see below where it is the coin at the end of the second row. Unfortunately my Parsons catalogue doesn't have buyers listed, so would have to ask someone, assuming I remember. I couldn't find a 1528 stock number to match the description in the Bulletin from June-Dec 1954, nor in the Circular for 1960.
