Here's my recent one
1696 William III Sixpence, first bust, early harp, large crowns (ESC 1533, S. 3520)
Also what is interesting is both our coins have a raised dot in the middle of the obverse. Mine looks larger and like an earning, thats because my coin being a 6d is smaller. This was a mark in the centre (point) for the setting out of the legend. It would be incuse on the die but when the coins are struck it becomes raised.
Here's one of Colin's ones from his site aboutfarthings.com:
