King Henry VIII's Great Seal, remastered in 24-carat gold by The Royal Mint as part of a limited edition presentation. The Great Seal of the Realm is used to symbolise the monarch's assent to state documents. Seals have been used by British sovereigns since before the Norman Conquest, with each King or Queen choosing a new design carefully crafted by a master engraver. This is an exquisite replica of a surviving seal belonging to King Henry VIII, created to authorise the 1527 Treaty of Amiens between England and France. The design shows Henry enthroned, surrounded by symbols of the Tudor royal house, with his crowned coat of arms on the other side. Struck in two troy ounces of 999.9 fine gold, this proof quality medal replica is from a limited edition of just 25, issued by the UK's national mint. We are offering this stunning collectable in its original packaging with a numbered and wax-sealed certificate enclosed.

Description Specification Summary

Henry VIII's Treaty Of Amiens Great Seal

The Great Seal of the realm represents the signature of the monarch and is impressed into sealing wax to signify approval of important documents. King Henry VIII used several Great Seals during his reign, including this one, used to seal the 1527 Treaty of Amiens, which allied Henry with King Francis I of France against the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. The impression, made in gold-coloured wax can be seen on the surviving treaty document in the National Archives in Paris.
