Description: | A very worn cast copper-alloy half guinea coin weight of Wiliam III, c.1694-1702 AD. It is flat, circular in form and with marks of value on both faces. The obverse depicts a laureate bust right with legend reading GVLIELMVS.III.-[DEI GRATI]A REX. The reverse carries a crown above a legend that begins GVN[], all within a beaded border. It measures 16.88mm in diameter, 2.44mm in thickness and 3.66g in weight (56.6 grains). This is a guinea coin weight of William III, probably for a half guinea denomination although the weight falls just below the 64 grains for the full weight of a half guinea (Withers and Withers, 1995: pp. 28, 68). It is of Post-Medieval date, c.1694-1702 AD.
