Coin (Reverse), a ten-shilling piece of William and Mary
Add to album

This is the reverse of a silver ten shilling piece minted in Edinburgh in 1691, during the reign of William II and Mary II.

The reverse has a large crowned shield of arms. The Latin inscription translates as: 'King and Queen of Great Britain, France and Ireland'.

After James VII's defeat William and Mary became rulers of England and Scotland. Silver coins in various denominations and copper bawbees bear their conjoined busts, and the copper bodles have a combined monogram of their two initials.
