Coin (Reverse), ten shilling piece, from reign of Anne

This is the reverse of a silver ten shilling piece minted in Edinburgh in 1705, during the reign of Anne.

The reverse has a crowned shield. The Latin inscription reads 'Queen of Great Britain, France and Ireland 1705'.

Anne acceded to the throne in 1702 and her reign saw the Act of Union of 1707 and the consequent cessation of a separate Scottish coinage. The last coins - British silver coins - ever struck in Scotland were issued at the Edinburgh mint in 1709.
