1696 CROWN ( GF ) 4

This 1696 Crown, struck during the reign of William III, is a distinguished example of English numismatic heritage from the late 17th century. The obverse features the right-facing bust of William III, adorned with armor and a laurel wreath, symbolizing his authority and leadership. On the reverse, a crowned shield displays the arms of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland in a cruciform arrangement, emblematic of the unity of these kingdoms under William III’s rule.

In Good Fine (GF) condition, this coin exhibits moderate wear consistent with its age and circulation. The details on both the obverse bust and reverse shield are well-preserved, with clear lines and minimal wear on the high points.
