The Latin legends translate as "Anne, by the grace of God," on obverse and on the reverse as "Queen of Great Britain, France and Ireland."

Gold was seemingly in quite short supply in the first pre-Union part of the reign of Queen Anne. The calendar year output for gold in 1705 totalled a mere £4,628 which speaks for itself and may have been mostly Five Guinea pieces and Guineas.
