[url]http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/values/farth.html#CII[/url] The year 1673 was a very turbulent time in England, indeed. Early in the year, the Test Act was passed. This essentially prohibited non-Anglicans (especially Catholics) from holding public office. James II, Duke of York (the King's brother) was soon forced to resign the office of Lord High Admiral because his Catholicism was prohibited by the Test Act. Late in 1673 James II marries Mary of Modena, a devout Catholic. It was their child and potential Catholic heir James III who inspired the Anglican Mary (James II's oldest daughter) and her Dutch husband William of Orange to usurp the throne from the Catholic James II in 1688.[/QUOTE]
