Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Shillings - Anne 1706 coin from Scotland is that it was made of silver, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of silver in coins was gradually phased out in the 19th century as the value of silver increased and the cost of producing coins became prohibitively expensive. Today, coins are typically made of less valuable materials like copper, nickel, and zinc.
