A counter stamped silver sixpence of William III (1694 to 1702) dating from 1695 to 1700. Reverse is worn smooth and is now illegible. Obverse, outline of Bust of William III can just be seen, counter stamped with "ING" enclosed in a rectangle. There also appears to be a "M" or "W" counter stamped below the "ING" but given its location and angle, was probably done seperatly to the "ING" stamping.
