The 1705 Penny - AnneSilver Penny of Queen Anne, minted at the Royal Mint in London in 1705. Diameter 12mm, weight 0.54g.
Queen Anne did not issue copper coins, although a pattern for a 1714 copper farthing was produced but not widely circulated as she died that year. The smaller denominations (1p, 2p, 3p and 4p) were silver and have the same design as the Maundy coins, and they were not issued for circulation every year.
The Obverse shows a portrait of Queen Anne facing left, probably by John Croker (1670-1741) who engraved almost all of the dies for the coins of Queen Anne. Legend is "ANNA DEI GRATIA".
The edge is plain.
The Reverse shows a crowned Roman numeral 'I'. Legend is "MAG BR FR ET HIB REX 1705" with date divided around top.Image credit: Museums Victoria
