<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 42607, member: 669&quot;]Hi mattman, and a somewhat belated welcome to the forum.&nbsp; That&#039;s some beautiful Egyptian silver you have there.My first guess was Netherlands, William II, and there is in fact a 1/2¢ copper, KM#68, with an obverse consisting of a large &quot;W&quot;, surmounted by a crown, with &quot;18&quot; to the left and the rest of the date to the right.&nbsp; The reverse is a shield with a lion standing on its hind feet, holding a sword, also surmounted by a crown.&nbsp; It has &quot;1/2&quot; of the left and &quot;¢&quot; on the right.</p><p><br /></p><p>If that&#039;s what you have, there were 2,051,000 minted , and value in the 3rd Ed. Standard Catalog of World Coins was $10 F, $25 VF, $50 XF, and $100 Unc.</p><p><br /></p><p>There should be two privy marks - a small caduceus indicating the Utrecht mint, and a small sword indicating the unnamed mintmaster in office from 1846-74.&nbsp; The photo in Krause is not too clear, but the sword appears to be at the bottom left corner of the reverse shield, and the caduceus <i>may</i> be at the bottom right corner.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether or not that&#039;s your coin, please post a photo when you get a chance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
