William & Mary *1689* One Guinea

 William & Mary 1689 One Guinea gold plated coin.


William and Mary were married in 1677, they were both cousins. When William was twenty seven and Mary was fithteen Mary's father, King James II, had converted to Catholicism. When his wife gave birth to a son, it meant Mary was no longer next in line for the throne and Protestants feared a Catholic King.

William was encouraged to invade England ( by protestants) causing James II to flee to France in exile.

The English Parliament offered Mary and William the role as joint monarchs in 1689.

They ruled side by side until Mary's death in 1694 from the small pox virus.

This coin IS NOT GOLD, for historical and fun purposes, would make a great gift idea.
