Great pull! Post a Back photo...
See my post on my 1771 I KG III that I pulled yesterday. Get the date on bottom reverse, and if too worn down, then weigh it and take diameter to be sure. Should be @1.25". and @ 8 grams.

This looks like a William III. See the legend "GVLI" - that would be the start to GVLIELMVS TERTIVS in contrast to GEORGIVS III REX for a George III. What's visible on the reverse looks more like a William III Britannia too.

If so, It would date to the late 1600s-early 1700s. Nice find!

Thanks so much. You made my night with this info

That is a nice find! I have found several Geo IIs and IIIs but never one as old as a William. I'd like to!
