1697 William III Halfpenny

In addition to his famous scientific achievements, Sir Isaac is known amongst numismatists for being the man who put Britain on the gold standard in 1717 by fixing the value of a guinea at 21 shillings, and for his campaign to hunt down as many coiners and forgers as possible during his tenure at the Mint.
