From the internet, this info was found:
"Struck in honor of Prince James, "The Pretender," the wishful James III, whose periwigged bust is accompanied by a Latin legend in effect asking "Whose Image Is This? It Is the King's!" The reverse displays warships surrounding the British Isles, suggestive of a desired invasion by France to ally herself with Scotland in order to effect the "restoration." Reverse legend consists of a single framed word, 'REDDITE", an imperative form of the Latin verb reddo, and again highly suggestive, its various connotations including restoration, return, surrender, declaration, and revenge. Despite the Scottish disapproval of the Act of Union of this year which changed the shields on all British coins of Queen Anne, the plans for invasion and revolt never moved beyond intrigue and dissension."
