Coin (Obverse), shilling, from the reign of AnneThis is the obverse of a silver shilling minted in Edinburgh in 1708, during the reign of Anne. The obverse bears a portrait of the queen with an 'E' below (for the Edinburgh Mint). The Latin inscription reads 'Anne, by the Grace of God'. 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. Record detailsTo search on related items, click any linked text below.
