| 裏面の説明 | Four crowned cruciform shields bearing the arms of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland arranged symmetrically around a central escutcheon displaying the Nassau lion rampant. The royal cipher WM appears in the angles between the shields, with the date numerals similarly distributed in the quarters. A crown surmounts each shield, and the full royal title legend encircles the design in Latin. |

William III's nine years' war against Louis XIV created a persistent drain on English silver, and the recoinage crisis of the mid-1690s was already gathering. These half crowns circulated into a monetary environment badly stressed by clipped and debased hammered coin still passing at face value alongside milled issues. The second busts replaced the first after criticism — not unusual for a joint reign in which both effigies had to satisfy dynastic politics as much as artistic standards.
Mary II died of smallpox in December 1694, ending the joint coinage abruptly. Issues from 1691–1693 represent the working years of this type before her death truncated the series.
