Description: | Post medieval copper alloy pattern for a farthing of Mary II (William and Mary). The coin has a bust of Mary on the obverse with the legend MARIA II DEI GRA and on the reverse a rose with EX CANDORE DECUS. Patterns were trial pieces struck with suggested designs. They were produced in low numbers and usually did not circulate as coinage; this is therefore an unusual detector find. Although the pattern was in copper the farthings of William and Mary were initially produced in tin and like other coins of the reign used the conjoined portrait. Humphreys (1853:484)
