William III 1672–1702,  Half Crown ?

this is badly rubbed but the only William III I have managed to find.

Looking into things I also read that there's a 1689 Halfcrown - William & Mary on the same coin, never seen one of these

  

[Paddy 1,781]

That coin has certainly seen some history! Difficult to be sure if it is a halfcrown or a Shilling without a scale. It is, however, definitely a Chester coin because of the C beneath the bust.

Here from my collection is one of the 1689 Half Crown who referred to:

Wow, that's a lovely looking coin and from my finds impossible to imagine these found in such a great condition. thank you for sharing this so impressive to see, 

Thank you for pointing out the "C" Chester Mint, which is interesting to be able to discover more information from it being so worn out.

Looking into this further the William III is 25mm across.... A Shilling I think is right.... once again many thanks for all of the input. Rgds "H"

Take the ' r ' looking letter to be a 'c'. One Hundred.

C for century.

[Mr T 187]

Might be worth getting a copy of Davies to identify some of the varieties.

Victorian 1 Florins 1891 & 1887

the 1987 is quite a good condition, a few dings on the bust side will I guess lower the value but you should see some of the bangers I have bought over the years, 

All the best.

Victorian....One Shilling = Two Florins

1900 1898 1893

1900 looks in better condition out of the three.

George V 1929 Shilling 1st issue? 

1923-29 South Africa Shilling.... 

....that was an eye opener as i hadn't picked up the Africa on the coin until today.... learning also of the day......the Africa shilling silver content is greater than that of the 1929 shilling...

Crickey what a day!?

[Paddy 1,781]

Hi H, both the last two are Florins = 2 shillings each. Previous post also - One florin = two shillings, not vice versa.

Life is one big learning curve! The day you stop learning is the day you die, and even that may not be true. If there is an afterlife, what wonders might we learn there?

Thanks Paddy, the stoke took its toll and sometimes all goes well.. it did take awhile to figure this out what was wrong... I can now see were it was wrong

the 1929 is a florin not a shilling - as you can see from the reverse!
