| Obverse description | First laureate and draped bust of King William III facing right, with the Y mintmark of the York Mint positioned below the truncation. The portrait displays the king in classical style with a laurel wreath and drapery over the shoulder. The peripheral legend in Latin reads around the bust within a beaded border. The engraving reflects the work attributed to James Roettier, characteristic of the early milled coinage of William III's reign. |
