Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Act of Union between England and Scotland, which took place in 1707. The coin's design features an image of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Act of Union on the other. The coin's unique feature is that it is a silver piedfort, meaning it is made of silver that has been struck multiple times to create a thicker and more detailed design than a standard coin. This makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
