| Aanvullende informatie |
Scotland's monetary union with England was effectively sealed by the Acts of Union in 1707, making this 1705 issue one of the final coinages struck under a distinctly Scottish authority. The Edinburgh Mint, which had operated continuously since the 12th century, would close its doors permanently within two years of this piece leaving the dies.
Anne's Scottish coinage was produced in parallel with her English issues but under separate warrant, a distinction that mattered enormously to Edinburgh merchants at the time and matters to collectors now.
