Queen Anne History
Queen Anne reigned from 1702 until 1714, a historically important period that included the Acts of Union of 1707, which united the kingdoms of England and Scotland into the Kingdom of Great Britain. Coins struck after the Union, including this 1710 Groat, therefore belong to the early coinage of the newly established Great Britain.
Anne’s reign also coincided with the War of the Spanish Succession and a period of growing British political and commercial influence. Her death in 1714 ended the Stuart monarchy, with the crown passing to the House of Hanover under George I.
Collectibility
This 1710 4 Pence combines an early Great Britain date, Queen Anne portraiture, the collectible S-3595B Large Crown variety, and more than 300 years of history. PCGS has authenticated the coin as genuine with Fine Details, while noting Damage, an important consideration when evaluating its condition. Find more alike here!
