| Beschrijving voorzijde | Conjoined busts of William III and Mary II facing left, William in front, both without crowns, with hair dressed in the fashion of the period. The legend encircles the effigies along the periphery in Latin, identifying the monarchs as King and Queen of Great Britain, France, and Ireland by the Grace of God. The portrait style is characteristic of late 17th-century Scottish coinage, rendered in relatively low relief typical of copper issues of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The bawbee — a denomination whose name likely derives from the lairdship of Sillebawby, held by the master of the Scottish mint under James V — had been a silver coin before inflation and repeated debasements reduced it to copper by the Restoration period. William and Mary's Scottish copper coinage was struck under the authority of a mint that would survive only another fifteen years; the Act of Union in 1707 abolished the Edinburgh mint as an independent institution. Sp#5670 represents one of the last generations of distinctly Scottish small coinage before that consolidation.
