Great Britain. 5 Guineas, 1706. S-3566; Fr-317; KM-521. Queen Anne, 1702-1714. After Union with Scotland. First bust left. Reverse: Second type, crowned cruciform shields with arms of England and Scotland combined, a Garter star in center, lettered edge reads DECVS. ET. TVTAMEN. ANNO. REGNI. QVINTO. An unfortunate worked on flaw in the reverse field kept this piece from a higher grade. Look at the incredibly sharp details of the queen's portrait. Proof-like and sparkling surfaces, otherwise a wonderful coin. PCGS has graded only 2 coins, AU-53 and AU-55. PCGS graded Uncirculated Detail (Reverse Tooled). Estimated Value $35,000 - UP
An interesting glimpse into the life of women at this time would be that Anne was pregnant eighteen times. Only five children were born alive, and four of those died before the age of two. The last did not make it to adulthood. Thus, despite all the attempts, Anne was the last Stuart ruler, dying without heirs.
