| Reverse description | Four crowned cruciform shields bearing the arms of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, arranged in saltire and cross formation around a central Garter star. The divided date appears above the uppermost shield, with the legend running around the periphery. Depending on the variety, the angles between the shields may be plain or adorned with roses and plumes, indicating different monetary authorities. The overall design is emblematic of early post-Act of Union British coinage, reflecting both English and Scottish heraldic traditions. |

| Additional information |
Anne's shilling series is complicated by the Acts of Union with Scotland in 1707, which forced the mint to revise coinage designs and legends mid-run. The third bust type coincides almost exactly with this constitutional reorganization, appearing as "MAG BR" replaced older regal titulature to reflect the newly unified kingdom. Several die marriages across the Edinburgh and London outputs produce overlapping Spink references, which is why the catalog lists a range rather than a single number.
Edinburgh's output under this type was folded into the Tower Mint's production framework following Union, ending Scotland's independent coinage tradition entirely.
