Before the Union each set of arms occupied its own shield. The legend on the coin reads as a single title from front to back, it translates as 'Anne by the Grace of God Queen of Great Britain, France and Ireland". The reverse has roses and plumes between the shields, this indicates that the silver used in this coin was supplied by mines in the West of England and Wales.
