| 正面描述 | Facing crowned and bearded effigy of King Henry VIII, turned slightly to the right in a three-quarter portrait, wearing an elaborate crown with fleurs-de-lis and crosses, a fur-trimmed robe visible at the shoulders with a decorative collar below. The portrait is boldly struck in the characteristic late Henrician style, with naturalistic facial features including a prominent beard. A circular Latin legend in uncial lettering surrounds the effigy, separated from the portrait by an inner beaded border. |

The Third Coinage of Henry VIII is a direct record of fiscal desperation. Beginning in 1544, the Crown systematically debased its silver coinage to fund the ongoing wars with France and Scotland, reducing the fineness from the traditional sterling .925 to as low as .333 by the reign's end. The groats struck in these years were effectively token pieces masquerading as silver coins, and contemporary merchants knew it — foreign exchange rates adjusted sharply against English currency.
Spink 2369 covers a range of bust varieties and mint marks across the Tower issues of this period, with mark sequences helping to narrow striking dates within the 1544–1547 window.
