I view Edward VI as "What might have been." He was very intelligent and well educated, yet his fragile health resulted in his early death. Here are a couple of pieces I have from his reign. A shilling A gold pound Edward's successor was the dreadful "Bloody Mary" who ordered to have almost 300 people burned at the stake because of their religion. This is a groat.
I have found 3 mary groats not as good as yours , three beautiful coins . I found a real nice gold gilt silver devotional heart pendant it had ihc christogram on it and it dates from affirmation of faith marrian period.
