William and Mary. 1689-1694. Tin farthing. 5.68 gm. 24 mm. 1690. Their conjoined busts right; GVLIELMVS ET MARIA around / Britannia seated left; BRITANNIA around; 1690 below. S. 3451. Peck 577*. Very Fine; some corrosion spots, well blended into the toning; the edge is rough; problems notwithstanding, this is a desirable example of this notably difficult type. (Though the edge is generally unreadable, the "8" followed by a six-petaled rosette is clear enough to attribute this as 577).
The Frank Robinson Collection.
