Title: Just added this Henry VIII groat
Post by: orfew on April 28, 2018, 11:13:27 pm

I have wanted a coin of Henry VIII for a while. He is a very important historical figure. Famous for his wives and what he did to them, his split with the Roman Catholic church, and for the creation of a new church of England, Henry VIII had a significant impact on the people of the day. Also notable was the fact that he debased the coinage which went against several hundred years of practice in England.
