It proberbly is, during the Great Recoinage" Of William III reign,
hammered silver coins were to be withdrawn and replaced with
milled coins instead. A lot of the coins were minted at local
mints until 1698 to produce the large quantities required.
They have letters below the bust: B= Bristol, C=Chester,
E= Exeter, N= Norwich & Y= York. So it can be one of only three years :thumbsup:
