nice finds Bill.  Mary died in 1694, leaving William to rule alone til 1702. yours must be from sometime between 1694 - 1699.

well found

Good button site thanks Jase. I still haven't found the match in the pics though. I wonder if its military? The front could be a number 1.
Its got me really keen to identify it now. It was in the same field as the William farthing and a couple of Georgian halfpennies and an enormous rifle ball. I only scanned it for the pic I used here. I might take a decent camera pic where I can mess about with the shadows etc Undecided
