Henry VIII pack Halk Angel

Product description

The coin is a replica of originals that were minted during the reign of King Henry VIII of England.

Henry VIII of England is the most feared king from the Tudor dynasty. He reigned from 1509–1547. Henry is recognised as the prototype of the self-aware Renaissance royal. He was intelligent and interested in art and science. Whilst he possessed these qualities, he was also regarded as a loveless, selfish and cruel man. Competitors, wives or servants who stood in his way were killed without mercy. Henry was feared for his romantic troubles: he had six wives, of whom two were beheaded.

The coin is crafted from leadless pewter.

The coin is delivered in a wallet-size card. This card contains further historical information, information on what is depicted on the coin and which goods could be purchased with it.
