Today you have the opportunity to own a faithful replica of one of the most sought after coins in British history. In 1526 Henry VIII introduced the first ever crown in to the British monetary system. As a nod toward the end of the tumultuous Wars of the Roses, the coin featured a 'double rose' design beneath a crown, and consequently became known as the Crown of the Double Rose.

The replica coin you could own today has been struck in pewter and carefully plated in 22 Carat Gold, and represents perhaps the closest all but the most privileged of collectors may ever get to owning an original. Order now and experience what it might have felt like to witness the birth of one of the worlds most well know denominations.
