1 Large 18th C. engraved Copper button of William of Orange!.From the collection of Harry Case of Missouri. This very rare example of engraved copper depicts William of Orange the Dutch ruler who in 1688 (as dated on the button) invaded England with a force on November 5th 1688 when he landed in Brixham. According to Wikipedia here is the following info on William of Orange. The Glorious Revolution is the name given to the events that led to the deposition of James II and VII in November 1688. He was replaced by his daughter Mary II and her Dutch husband, William III of Orange, who was also his nephew. The two ruled as joint monarchs of England, Scotland and Ireland until Mary's death in 1694. The Revolution itself was relatively bloodless, but pro-Stuart revolts between 1689 and 1746 caused significant casualties, while the political movement known as Jacobitism persisted into the late 18th century. It has been suggested as the last successful invasion of England. This EXTREMELY RARE example depicting William of Orange with the date 1688 is found here in incredibly fine and detailed condition and would be considered a true find for any collection. This button is one of the rarest pictorial copper buttons you will ever find.  Issued: DIVISION 1=PRE 1918 AND DIVISION 3 IS AFTER 1918Dimensions: SM=Less than 3/4", Medium=3/4" to 1 1/4".
