Sir William Strickland, 6th Baronet (18 February 1753 – 8 January 1834) was an 18th-century gentleman farmer and writer from Yorkshire, England.
He established his own farm at Welburn in York and, in 1808, succeeded his father as the sixth baronet of Boynton.
The provenance is attributed to a 1964 London Christie's auction where the coins appeared listed as "the property of Major the Lord St. Oswald, M.C.
", the title of Strickland's descendant, Rowland Denys Guy Winn, 4th Baron St Oswald, a member of the House of Lords.
[9] This result places Strickland's Lord St. Oswald 1794 dollar on the List of most expensive coins.
