Great Britain
William III 1/2 Crown 1698 MS65 NGC, KM492.2, S-3494, ESC-554. Essentially mark-free surfaces, with a dearth of the haymarks often seen on the silver issues of this period, and a gentle, unimpaired antique tone over both faces - all told, the only detracting element is perhaps a slight softness to the central strike, although this is standard for the issue. An undeniably special piece relative to both this particular type and as a whole, with coinage of this era of British history rarely reaching this gem level of certification.
