Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Shillings - Anne 1706 coin from Scotland is that it was minted during the reign of Queen Anne, who was the last of the Stuart monarchs and ruled from 1702 until her death in 1714. This coin was minted in 1706, which was a significant year for Scotland as it was the year of the Union of Parliaments, where Scotland and England were united under a single government. This event had a profound impact on the country's economy and political landscape, and the coin serves as a tangible reminder of this historic moment.
