Henry VIII is one of Britain’s most iconic and influential monarchs, famous for his lavish lifestyle, six wives, and trying to secure the Tudor dynasty’s claim to the throne with a male heir. In 1537, Henry VIII and his third wife, Jane Seymour, had a son, Edward, who later became Edward VI.

During a reign that lasted almost four decades, some of his actions, such as the Reformation and the dissolution of the monasteries, have helped shape the modern world of today. A dichotomous character who is regarded as both a tyrannical ruler and renaissance prince, his legacy is one that still intrigues historians and the public alike.

This one-of-a-kind set commemorates these two Tudor kings and features a rare Henry VIII Sovereign, dating from 1544–47, alongside an Edward VI silver crown dated 1551.
