A portrait of Queen Anne graces the centre of this commemorative coin and the National emblems of England appear on her left - the Lion, Rose and Saint George’s flag and the National emblems of Scotland appear on her right - the Unicorn, Thistle and Saint Andrew’s flag. The original Union Flag of 1606, which dates back to the regal union between England and Scotland when James VI Kings of Scots was crowned King James I of England, appears at the bottom of the design. Depicted are the three flags appearing in the glorious combinations of red, white and blue which portray the original 1606 Union, St George’s and St Andrew’s flags.
