Workers Discover Rare British Coin

During recent construction to the Milan Historical Museum’s Galpin Residence, contractors unveiled a hidden treasure. A British coin of King William IV dating 1831 was found during renovations. The coin reads GUILELMUS IIII DEI GRATIA on the obverse with a portrait of William and BRITANNIAR: REX FID: DEF on the reverse with a female Britannia seated on a rock, holding a trident and resting a shield against her right side. A floral emblem is below her. The inscription translates to “William IV, by the grace of God, king of Britain and defender of the faith.”

Due to the lack of currency during the early years of Milan, English currency was used, which explains this coins presence.
