Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Shilling - Anne (3rd bust) coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the United Kingdom. Queen Anne was the last of the Stuart monarchs and ruled from 1702 until her death in 1714. During her reign, the Acts of Union were passed, which united England and Scotland under the name of Great Britain. This coin was minted in 1707, just a few years after the Acts of Union were passed, and it features a portrait of Queen Anne on one side and a crowned shield on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighs 6.02 grams, making it a valuable and collectible piece of history.
