The Roman numeral V, denoting the mark of value of five shillings Scots, appears in the exergue beneath the monogram. The encircling Latin legend runs along the periphery within a milled border, with the date 1691 incorporated into the legend at the top.

Aanvullende informatie

William and Mary's Scottish coinage was struck under considerable political strain — William's acceptance of the Scottish crown in 1689 came with conditions imposed by the Convention of Estates, and the Jacobite rising under Viscount Dundee that same year made the new regime's authority far from secure. Scottish silver of this reign is genuinely scarce, the Edinburgh mint operating with chronic shortages of bullion throughout the early 1690s. Spink 5664 is among the smaller denominations of a short joint reign; Mary died in December 1694, ending the dual portraiture series after just five years.
