This coin die for striking the reverse of a Queen Anne half-groat was for use at the Edinburgh mint. Dating from 1711, the die was never actually used to strike a coin issued in Scotland.
The Latin inscription around the edge translates as, 'Queen of Great Britain, France and Ireland'.
There are no surviving contemporary half-groats struck from this die. However, there are some half-groats which were made many years later.
