Struck off center. The R in TERTIVS (and BRITANNIA) was punched using a farthing punch and is smaller than the rest of the letters, which is not the case for all 1696 halfpennies. Portrait details are really quite nice. Tough to find.

Quality control was non existent.
I take William 111 copper with a pinch of salt.
Dr Nicholson put together a sublime collection which was on Colin Cookes site.

I'll take what I can get here in the US. This is a big upgrade over my other 1696.
