EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Queen Anne Silver Shilling from England. The obverse side proudly displays the image of Queen Anne, who reigned over England from 1702 to 1714. Her reign marked a significant milestone in British history as it witnessed the union of England and Scotland, symbolized by the merged shields depicted on the reverse side of this coin. Queen Anne's personal life was marred by tragedy, with seventeen pregnancies resulting in only one surviving child who tragically passed away at just eleven years old. Despite these hardships, her reign played a pivotal role in shaping the United Kingdom as we know it today. Measuring 24 mm in diameter and weighing approximately 6 grams, this coin is not just an object but a testament to numismatics and its significance within British culture. Housed within Cornwall's prestigious Royal Cornwall Museum collection, this artifact stands as a tangible link to our rich past. Photographer Mike Searle has skillfully captured every intricate detail of this metallic treasure. With his lens focused on its exquisite craftsmanship and historical importance, he invites us to appreciate both its beauty and cultural value.
