Anna, koningin van Engeland, shilling geslagen van het in de zeeslag bij Vigo veroverde zilver 1703

This silver shilling was minted in 1703 from silver captured during the Battle of Vigo Bay. The obverse features a profile portrait of Queen Anne of England, while the reverse depicts the Royal Arms of Great Britain. This coin, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fascinating example of numismatic art and a historical reminder of the Anglo-Spanish conflict in the early 18th century.
