A milled gold Guinea featuring William and Mary, dated 1694. Just over 300 years ago England was ruled by the Dutch Prince - William of Orange, and Mary - daughter of James II. This period of the Monarchy was fraught with problems and internal fighting. The Protestant Prince William had driven the Catholic King James from the English throne, to stop an alliance with the French, who were becoming powerful and threatening all Europe - especially the Netherlands. The joint reign lasted just over four years with the death of Mary in 1694. With such a short reign all coins of William and Mary are rare, and are some of the only British coins to feature two monarchs. This coin is ex-mount.
Obverse
