Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Shillings - Anne 1705 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 1705, which was a significant year for Scotland as it saw the Acts of Union being passed, which united Scotland and England under a single government, creating the Kingdom of Great Britain. The coin's design features Queen Anne's portrait on one side and the Scottish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the union between the two countries.
