Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, with a portrait of King Henry VIII on the obverse (front) side, and a depiction of the Tudor Rose on the reverse (back) side. The Tudor Rose is a symbol of the Tudor dynasty, which ruled England from 1485 to 1603, and is a combination of the red rose of Lancashire and the white rose of Yorkshire. This design was chosen to commemorate the 500th anniversary of King Henry VIII's accession to the throne.
