William III (14 November 1650 – 8 March 1702) (Dutch: Willem III) was a sovereign Prince of Orange by birth. From 1672 he governed as Stadtholder William III of Orange (Dutch: Willem III van Oranje) over Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Guelders, and Overijssel of the Dutch Republic. From 1689 he reigned as William III over England and Ireland, and as William II over Scotland. He is informally known in Northern Ireland and Scotland as “King Billy”. A member of the House of Orange-Nassau, William won the English, Scottish, and Irish crowns following the Glorious Revolution, in which his uncle and father-in-law James II was deposed. In the British Isles, William ruled jointly with his wife, Mary II, until her death on 28 December 1694. Popular histories usually refer to the joint reign as that of “William and Mary”.

I have a William III Crown with Ocyavo on the rim dated 1696. I am not an expert but it is in “Good” or slightly better condition and want to sell it.
Also have a William & Mary Half Crown in “Fair ” condition (more polished away/worn than the one above) dated 1689 and also want to sell.
Do you make offers and are they worth it?
Thanks RW
hi there,
I have a gold coin and on the backside of the coin it says “William III 1688-1702 MARY 1688-1694” and a “WR” on the bottom of the coin. In the front of the coin it says GVLIELMVS ET MARIA with two faces on it. To me it looks like a medallion.
The coin is in very good condition. If your interested I will send pictures, please let me know thanks.
I have a copper 1.5 inch medal / medalion which has William III on horseback on one side and an open book on the reverse, it also has who the medal was awarded to printed along the edge/rim. if anyone can help in identifying it / valueing etc it would be appreciated.
