Now this is where it gets confusing cos there were also coins of another Matilda, out at the same time cos there was a Civil war going on between Stephen and Empress Matilda (also known as Maud), sadly his wife was called Matilda too it causes no end of confusion.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second time that two monarchs occured simultaneously was for another &#039;M&#039; this time Queen Mary I and Philip II of Spain, both shown facing each other on the Shillings and Sixpences. I do have a Philip and Mary groat but only Mary is pictured on that.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it&#039;s;</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Stephen and Matilda 1135-1154</p><p>2) Philip and Mary I 1554-1558</p><p>3) William and Mary II 1688-1694[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
