If your coin has Britannia on it, it is most likely a penny, a half penny, or a farthing. A penny is about the size of a US half dollar, a half-penny is closer to the size of a quarter and a farthing is just slightly bigger than a US cent. Condition is everything in these older coins, the prices I list are going to be prices for average, circulated examples. A coin in mint-state condition, or exhibiting some error, might be worth many times more. But a William III farthing is worth about $10-25, a William III half-penny is worth about $16-40 and I really can't find much data about William III pennies, so I'm not even sure if there was a 1697 penny struck, but there seems to be no examples on eBay at this time.
