| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII's birth, this is one of several commemorative strikes the Falkland Islands produced throughout the 1990s under licensing arrangements that had little connection to the subject matter beyond the Commonwealth framework. Henry VIII's actual monetary legacy is worth noting here: he was responsible for one of the most systematic debasements of English coinage in history, reducing the silver content of the groat and shilling so aggressively that coins would turn visibly copper at the edges — earning him the nickname "Old Coppernose" among his subjects.
