500 Years of the Crown
This coin marks five centuries since the Tudor Crown — one of the most enduring symbols of British royal authority — became embedded in the heraldic and numismatic identity of the nation. From Henry VIII's reign through to the present day, the Crown and its accompanying rose have appeared on British coinage as a continuous thread linking monarch to monarch, era to era. This release captures that extraordinary continuity in gold, honoring the craftsmanship and tradition that have defined The Royal Mint for over a millennium.
