Definición

• The word Vigo occurs under the bust on certain coins of Queen Anne. It is placed there to commemo- rate the capture, in October, 1702, by Sir George Rooke, of the Spanish galleons at Vigo, from which the bullion was taken, and from which the coins were struck. It occurs with the date 1702 on Shillings only, but with 1703 on Crowns, half Crowns, Shillings, and Sixpences.

  In the gold series there are five Guinea pieces, Guineas, and half Guineas with this inscription, dated 1703, 1705, and 1706.
