William and Mary's Scottish coinage presented an immediate political problem: Scotland retained its own mint and monetary system, but the new joint monarchs needed to appear on coin together in a kingdom deeply skeptical of William's Dutch origins and the manner of James VII's removal. The 1691 date places this issue squarely within the period of Jacobite resistance — Killiecrankie had been fought just two years prior, and Dundee's Highland army had only recently collapsed at Dunkeld.
The Edinburgh Mint struck silver in limited quantities throughout this reign, and attrition from circulation in a commercially active but small economy accounts for the difficulty in locating problem-free survivors today.
