Coin (Reverse), shilling, from the reign of AnneThis is the reverse of a silver shilling minted in Edinburgh in 1708, during the reign of Anne. The reverse has a cross of four crowned shields of arms with a garter star in the centre. The Latin inscription reads 'Queen of Great Britain, France and Ireland 1708'. 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.
