<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 4207477, member: 99642&quot;]Hi Dragon,&nbsp; so considering whether GB did coin alignment or medal alignment in those years, start with the obverse in it&#039;s obvious correct position and then use the correct alignment to either &quot;flip&quot; the coin (top to bottom) or &quot;turn&quot; the coin (left to right). That will give you the correct alignment for the reverse.</p><p>For the year, look at the juncture of where the corners of the 4 shields almost touch. You&#039;ll see a number at each place, though one of them is hard to read, I see a 1, a 6 or 9, and a 3.&nbsp; Using the info that you&#039;ve already deduced &quot;..judging from when William and Mary reigned I feel like it&#039;s 1693.&quot;, try to figure out what that unreadable (to me) number is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a 1693 GB Shilling on NGC :&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/great-britain-shilling-km-480-1692-1693-cuid-1160405-duid-1328694" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/great-britain-shilling-km-480-1692-1693-cuid-1160405-duid-1328694" rel="nofollow">great-britain-shilling-km-480-1692-1693-cuid-1160405-duid-1328694</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and here is the same coin on Numista :</p><p><a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces27951.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces27951.html" rel="nofollow">pieces27951.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Neither page details the alignment with arrows , but from the photos if you turn the coin until the numeral 1 is in the top left corner, that should be the correct alignment. The coins were only made in 1692 and 1693, so of course yours is 1693.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck and what a nice coin!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
