This specimen was lot 3092 in Goldberg sale 87 (Los Angeles, September 2015), where it sold for $2,702.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "Great Britain. Shilling, 1693. William and Mary, 1689-1694. Well struck and nearly uncirculated with a pleasing dark tone. These conjoined-head silver coins were struck with a shallow design and are therefore seldom seen with much detail on the portraits of the joint monarchs. This is an exceptional specimen. The coin deservedly catalogues at around $4000 in XF. NGC graded AU-53." This type is noted for 1692-93 and is the only shilling to feature both monarchs.
