This represents a part of Colonial Coinage used here in America, due to the shortage of copper and but also because this was a fundamental building block of America. Like William and Mary College here in Virginia, and many other States (Like Georgia, Charlestown W.Va, Charlotte, N.C. etc. etc.) and cities, towns and counties across the United States of America we owe much of these early days to the Monarchy and the leaders of Great Britain that they were names for and their history as we share much of it in our roots and are reminded daily of this connection.
Scarcity of early coinage in America where denominations were used primarily from Great Britain but other colonizing nations as well, the value was in the material either copper or silver, so almost any country's currency would pass hands.
Kings and Queens of Great Britain:
"Bloody" Mary 1553-1558
Elizabeth I 1558-1603
James I 1603-1625
Charles I 1625-1649
The Commonwealth 1649-1659
Charles II 1660-1685
James II 1685-1688 (Abdicated to William of Orange)
William and Mary 1689-1702 (William alone 1695-1702)
Anne 1702-1714
George I 1714-1727

Historically significant dates during the early Colony of America and our history and the cities and towns we live in today.
