Brutally beheaded on Warrant Signed by Her own Cousin

            On 8th of February 1587 Mary Queen of Scots (aka Mary Stuart or Mary I of Scotland) was brutally beheaded by three axe blows at Fotheringhay Castle, England, as her headsman (executioner) missed her neck during the first couple of axe blows! The he raised the head for the crowd to see, it fell and he was left holding only Mary's wig. Mary was implicated in plotting against Elizabeth I of England, her own cousin who had signed the Death Warrant for the execution.

Close up shot of a 22-ct gold plated piece minted by The Tower Mint (Stirling Castle's Exclusive Edition). The shadow of an axe in three sequencial positions is cast to commemorate Mary's decapitation.
