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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

It can't be a florin because that denomination wasn't invented until 1849.
