| Aanvullende informatie |
Anne of Cleves is an oddity in the Tudor matrimonial record — married to Henry VIII in January 1540, the union was annulled by July, making hers the shortest of his six marriages at roughly six months. The match had been brokered largely on the strength of Holbein's flattering portrait, and Henry's reported disappointment on meeting her in person became one of the more durable anecdotes of the period. She accepted the annulment quietly, received a generous settlement, and outlived all five of Henry's other wives.
Guernsey has issued this piece as part of a wider Six Wives series, with selective colour applied to the copper-nickel blank — a technique that remains controversial among specialists for its effect on long-term collectability.
