The Turner (also spelled “Bodle”) was a Scottish copper coin issued during Charles II’s reign.

On the obverse is a scottish thistle with the legend "NEMO · ME · IMPVNE · LACESSET · 1677" meaning "No one shall hurt me with impunity"

On the reverse is a crown above crossed sword and sceptre, along with the date “1677.”

This is a scarce "third bust" type dated 1711.  The obverse features the third draped bust of Queen Anne facing left.

Interestingly, there was no second bust minted in 1711, so this coin features the third bust image.
On the reverse is the crowned cruciform shields representing Great Britain, France, and Ireland.

The Maria Theresa Thaler is claimed by many as being one of the most beautiful coins in the world. It has been used in world trade continuously since its first minting in 1741 and is still used in some African countries today because of it's high silver content.
Although dated 1780, this coin was most likely minted mid 1800s.  This is a fine example and is set at a very reasonable price.

William IV (1830-1837) was known as the ‘Sailor King’. The William IV Silver Groat coin, minted in 1836, earned the nickname “Joey” due to the influence of Joseph Hume, an MP who advocated for its introduction. Originally, the groat (worth four pence) was convenient for paying cab fares. However, it fell out of favor with cab drivers, who now received a straightforward fourpence as payment instead of the previous sixpence. The silver threepence, introduced in 1845, proved more popular, rendering both coins unnecessary. Nevertheless, the Joey remains a fascinating piece of numismatic history! The Monarch’s portrait and Britannia symbolize British identity and stability during this period.
