| Reverse description | The reverse presents the crowned quartered royal arms of William and Mary at centre, the shield displaying the arms of England (three lions passant guardant), Scotland (lion rampant), France (three fleurs-de-lis), and Ireland (harp), surmounted by an elaborate arched and jewelled crown. The circumferential Latin legend MAG · BR · FR · ET · HIB · REX · ET · REGINA with the date 1689 runs clockwise around the periphery, separated by interpuncts. A milled dentilated border frames the design. The heraldic composition is rendered in the bold, high-relief style typical of late seventeenth-century Scottish milled coinage. |
