1547-1551 Edward VI Hammered Silver Groat Posthumous Henry VIII Bristol Mint Reverse

£240.00

A rare and collectable hammered silver Groat of king Edward the Fourth, minted in the name of his father, Henry VIII. This posthumous issue was struck early in Edward VI’s reign at the Tower mint in London between 1547 and 1551. The obverse features the crowned sixth bust of Henry, bearded, facing forward and slightly to the right. The reverse shows a long cross with Suns in the forks, quartering a royal shield of arms. The Grapple mint mark can be clearly seen before ‘POSVI’. Thanks to Henry’s debasement policy, Edward VI’s early issues are hard to find in high grades but the range of die variations and mint marks make them interesting to study and collect. Spink 2403.

We're based in Royal Wootton Bassett, a historic market town in beautiful Wiltshire. If the name rings a bell it's probably because you remember how the community honoured those soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 'Royal' in the name was granted in 2011 to recognise this.

Our new showroom – opened in 2020 – is located in the heart of Royal Wootton Bassett in a grand, old bank building. Inside you can view our stock, as well as jewellery and collectibles from several local antique dealers. Look out for the Old Bank Antiques sign and come on in.

Love it, love it, love it. What can I say, couldn’t improve anymore, ordered the sovereign Monday morning and had it by Tuesday morning. Would highly recommend Britannia coins and I’ll definitely be back when funds allow. Many thanks! ***

I liked how simpke how fast it was. I dont have any issues, infact was fond of my purchase even tho it was alil pricey. They are good for their prices. Will give them a 5 star once i buy more as abit early for maximum rating. Whats also excellent is they were willing to speak about the product and not be rude like some other places.
