Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Shillings - William II 1702 coin from Scotland is that it was minted during a time when the Scottish currency was still separate from the English currency. Prior to the Acts of Union in 1707, Scotland had its own distinct coinage, and the 5 Shillings coin featuring William II was one of the denominations minted during this time. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, with only a limited number minted, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.
