A quaich is a traditional Scottish drinking vessel. This shows the inside of a silver quaich, dated 1891-2. Made in Edinburgh by J. Crichton, it is set in the centre with a 1707 Queen Anne sixpence.
The sixpence depicts the bust of Queen Anne, with the surrounding Latin text which translates as, 'Anne, by the Grace of God'.
Although the Union provided for the Scottish mint to continue, the last official coinage it produced was between 1707 and 1709.
