<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 2997816, member: 40017&quot;]1693 William and Mary Half Crown. I love the design of these coins with the date in a circle around the centre.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]741046[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]741047[/ATTACH] </p><p>The date confused the heck out of the die makers and they frequently got the last digit upside down and then corrected it, as I think happened here.</p><p>The W and M monogram in the quarters on the reverse was used extensively in architecture at the time. Where I grew up there was a long wall with this symbol picked out in dark bricks against red - looked very stylish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
