| Reverse description | Frontal facing portrait of King Henry VIII, crowned and richly attired in Tudor dress with fur-trimmed robes and an ornate collar, rendered in a style closely evoking the coinage of the Tudor period. The king wears an arched imperial crown adorned with fleurs-de-lis and crosses pattée. The portrait is set within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin legend running around the outer border in Gothic blackletter characters interspersed with cross and pellet stops, reading hЄnRIC·xVIII·xDI·xGRΛ·xΛGL·xFRΛ·xZ·xhIB·xRЄX. The overall design deliberately evokes the aesthetic of early sixteenth-century English royal coinage, with stylised lettering and heraldic decorative elements. |
