The reverse of these British Monarchs' coins features a facing portrait of King Henry VIII, remastered by The Royal Mint, originally used on Testoons, which gave Henry the nickname 'Old Coppernose'.
These are some of the first coins in the collection to feature Martin Jennings' definitive coinage portrait of King Charles III, introduced following his accession. The legend reads 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 10 POUNDS · 2023 ·'.
Five-ounce coins are struck in 156.30 grams of 999 fine silver and have a face value of Ten Pounds. These 2023 coins are struck with a premium proof finish, which is achieved with multiple strikes of hand-finished dies.
The Royal Mint only authorised the release of 250 of these King Henry VIII British Monarchs coins, which is a little lower than previous issues in this unfinished but very popular series from the UK's national mint.
This pre-owned coin comes in the original presentation case from The Royal Mint with a numbered certificate of authenticity and a detailed information booklet enclosed, exploring the story of King Henry VIII's coinage.
