Is this a hilt part from a sword? If it is, can someone possibly ID it? The coin is dated 1701 all I know it's British any info appreciated? The excal is turning out to be an awesome machine for sure! Thanks, HH :icon_thumright:

If the date is 1701 that would be William111, looks like a half penny :icon_thumleft:

Yea good sized http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php?topic=122592.0
So witch one is the better find the GVLIELMVS TERTIVS or the other type?
Not quite sure which is scarcer, if any. here's a bit more imformation :thumbsup:

The William III halfpenny appears with various distinct types of engraving of the king's head, Britannia, and the inscriptions, with the quality getting worse as the reign wore on. The coins were copper, weighing 8.9 to 11.5 grams, with a diameter of 28–29 millimetres. The king's effigy on the obverse faced right, with the inscription GVLIELMVS TERTIVS – William the Third. Britannia appears on the reverse with the inscription BRITANNIA and the date normally in the exergue beneath Britannia. Coins were produced each year between 1695 and 1701.
