* This coin was produced after the Act of Union of 1707. If Scotland had opted, in the September 2014 referendum, for independence, 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.
