ENGLAND — HENRY VIII
Second Coinage, c.1529–1532
Silver Groat (4 Pence)
Tower Mint, London
Spink S.2337E / North 1797
Laker Bust D
Mintmark: fleur-de-lis
A silver groat of Henry VIII, struck at the Tower Mint in London around 1529–1532. A well-attributed example of the later group of the Second Coinage, featuring the Laker Bust D portrait type and the fleur-de-lis mintmark.
The portrait side is particularly attractive. For a small hammered coin approximately 500 years old, the portrait of Henry VIII retains impressive detail: the crown, facial features, hair and elements of the royal dress remain clearly visible. A substantial part of the surrounding legend is also preserved.
The reverse features the quartered royal shield over a long cross. The principal heraldic elements and a significant part of the surrounding legend remain clearly visible.
Several letters in the legend show characteristic traces of double striking, typical of 16th-century hammered coinage and clearly illustrating the original minting process.
Weight: 2.60 g
Diameter: 24.6–25.1 mm
Thickness: approx. 0.6 mm
Dark natural patina. The coin has not been subjected to modern cleaning or polishing.
An authentic English silver coin from the Tudor period, struck almost 500 years ago, with a strong portrait, a clearly identifiable fleur-de-lis mintmark and precise catalogue attribution.
