Anne 1702-1714 AD
On 1 May 1707, under the Acts of Union 1707, England and Scotland were united as a single sovereign state, the Kingdom of Great Britain. Anne became its first sovereign , while continuing to hold the separate crown of Queen of Ireland and the title of Queen of France. Anne reigned for twelve years until her death in August 1714. Therefore she was, technically, the last Queen of England and the last Queen of Scots.
Queen Anne's life was marked by many crises, both personal and relating to succession of the Crown and religious polarisation. Because she died without surviving children, Anne was the last monarch of the House of Stuart. She was succeeded by her second cousin, George I, of the House of Hanover , who was a descendant of the Stuarts through his maternal grandmother, Elizabeth , daughter of James I and VI.
The most notable feature of the coins of Queen Anne was the change in the coinage after the Act of Union of 1707, which effected the unification of England and Scotland.
Obverse:
Bust of Anne facing left, the absence of any mintmark below the bust denotes that this coin was struck at the Royal mint.
The obverse inscription reads:
ANNA DEI GRATIA
Reverse:
Post Union reverse, featuring crowned cruciform shields as previously, but on opposing pair of shields is now halved vertically, with the three English leopards and the single Scottish rampant lion. The other shields bear a harp and three fleurs-de-lys.
The reverse legend reads:
MAG BRI FR ET HIB REG
Edge - The edge is milled
