* This coin was produced after the Act of Union of 1707. If Scot-
land had opted, in the September 2014 referendum, for inde-
pendence, it would have broken this 307-year union of the 2
nations. The Act of 1707 resulted in a change in the royal arms.
On this post-Union coin the English lions and Scottish lion are
emblazoned together on the top and bottom shields.
Estimated Value ..............................................$2,400 - 2,700
