<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 72328, member: 1824&quot;]Ian,I have since managed to get a silver 20/- dated 1695.The interesting thing about King William&#039;s Scots coins is that there is no numeral in the King&#039;s title.I do know why.It is because King William was King William II of Scotland &amp; King William III of England,but he regarded himself as being the first King William of Great Britain.King Billy&#039;s coins are of interest to me,because the Orange Order remember his victory at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690,even though the Orange Order didn&#039;t come into existence until around 1795.The Orange Order is not only very strong in Ulster,it is also quite strong in Scotland as well.King Billy was a Stuart even though he was a Dutchman.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
