Comment
Part of 5 coins set:
Rooted in a key event of British history, The Rose and Crown celebrates the end of the War of the Roses 1455-1487. A series of civil wars for the throne of England between two competing royal families: the House of York and the House of Lancaster.
The result was the uniting of the red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of York when Henry Tudor married Elizabeth of York. Hence the literal phrasing of the rose and crown together, united.
Interesting fact
The Rose and Crown, featured on the reverse side of the coin, is a popular British pub name that dates back to the 16th century. It's believed that the name originated from the practice of combining the symbols of the two most powerful royal houses in England at the time: the Tudor rose and the crown. The design on the coin features a stylized image of a rose and crown, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, adding to its cultural and historical significance.
