*** From the Archive – JUST 44 Available ***

Henry VIII was the son of the first monarch of the Tudor dynasty, Henry VII who came to throne in 1485 bringing a new and peaceful era after his marriage to Elizabeth of York ended the War of the Roses.

Henry VIII had an eventful reign over four decades from 1509 - 1547, overseeing the union of England and Wales in 1535 and founding the Royal Navy.

However he is most well-known for having six wives, two of whom were executed under the charge of treason.

This £5 coin and stamp cover was issued in 2009 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the accession of Henry VIII to the throne. It features the Royal Mint 2009 Henry VIII £5 Coin designed by John Bergdahl and features a recreation of the famous standing portrait of Henry VIII by Hans Holbein.

Alongside the coin, this cover also features the UK 2009 House of Tudor Stamps and has been officially postmarked by the Royal Mail on the First day of issue – 21st April 2009.

The one-day-only postmark means that no more can ever be produced. And I have JUST 44 remaining from my archived stock. You'll need to ACT NOW to guarantee yours.
