| 正面描述 | Conjoined busts of William III and Mary II facing left, William draped and laureate in front, Mary with flowing hair behind, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. The numeral '10' appears in the lower field below the effigies, denoting the mark of value. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the circular Latin legend occupying the outer field. The busts are presented in the classical Anglo-Scottish milled coinage style of the period. |

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.
