Comment
Part of 4 coins set:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, showcasing a portrait of King Henry VII of England, who ruled from 1485 to 1509. This is unusual as most coins feature images of Queen Elizabeth II, who has been the reigning monarch since 1952. The coin's design was created by sculptor and engraver, Ian Rank-Broadley, and it was issued to commemorate the 500th anniversary of King Henry VII's accession to the throne.
