One interesting fact about the 1 Crown - Henry VIII (Crown of the double-rose) ND (1526-1544) coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the royal coat of arms of England during Henry VIII's reign. The coin's obverse side bears an image of the king's crowned bust, surrounded by the double-rose emblem, which symbolizes the union of the houses of York and Lancaster. This design was specifically chosen to emphasize Henry VIII's status as the supreme ruler of England and to promote the Tudor dynasty's claim to the throne.
