Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 05/21/2017 10:32 am King Billy on horseback and 1689 in Roman numerals below. 1791 and the city coat of arms on the reverse. The edge reads: Payable at the warehouse of Ionathan Garton & Co. Very nicely struck with all details in high relief. Report this Post to the Staff
