jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 6:21 pm I got this coin in a lot. Anybody know what it could be thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 7:41 pm It's a William III florin. It's date would be from 1696 to 1701. This one is 1697. Though it's only worth a bit over melt (probably $15-20, I could be wrong), it's a marvelous piece of history. Edited by Apollo 12/04/2011 7:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 8:29 pm It's french because of the 3 fleur-de-lys.A french double tournois. I believe it to be Louis XIII, young bust, around 1620. See if you can find a date according to this image of the same kind. Report this Post to the Staff

Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 9:20 pm I'm almost sure it's Louis XIII, and each year has a different design, this one has a loop in the hair. I will check tomorrow after school if there is no further information about it. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21792 Posts	Posted 12/06/2011 01:23 am The William 111 cannot be a florin although the King IS right. The silver denominations with this reverse design are crown, half crown shilling and sixpence. The correponding weights are 30 gms, 15 gms 6 gms and 3 gms. Report this Post to the Staff
Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/06/2011 5:18 pm You're right sel, I searched through images and it's true there are no florins like this, must've mixed it up with shilling. I'm dumb... Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 17006 Posts	Posted 12/06/2011 10:09 pm It can't be a florin because that denomination wasn't invented until 1849. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
