This 1703 sixpence and 1709 shilling show a change in the four shields on the reverse. From 1603 to 1707, the kingdoms of Scotland and England were separately governed even though they shared a monarch. After the Act of Union the countries were united, so the English and Scottish arms are conjoined. Both coins also have the arms of Ireland, and... France! Historically the English monarch had a claim to the kingdom of France, although the last English possession on the French mainland had been lost in the mid-16th century! English coins continued to proclaim the monarch as king / queen of France until the French revolution!
