10 Kreuzer - William IX, 1763 silver Coin, wonderful condition

This very rare old coin is in lovely condition as you can see: very sharp with milled edge and it’s astonishing to think it’s two hundred and fifty one years old.  Although it has a loop to the top I imagine this could be removed, if desired.
