Message:: [QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4658341, member: 101855"]I have a "well advanced" collection of British coins that feature one coin for each king from Alfred the Great to Queen Elizabeth II. I still have a few pieces to go from the period before Eadgar (959 to 975). Here are my examples of the coins that interest you. Here is a "young Henry VIII" on a two pence.

[ATTACH=full]1149596[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1149597[/ATTACH] I am fascinated by Edward VI because he had so much potential. His father's "tom catting around" probably ruined his chances of having a healthy life. Here is an Edward VI shilling. This is a fairly common coin, but this one is well above average.

Here is an Edward VI gold half sovereign or pound.[ATTACH=full]1149601[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1149602[/ATTACH] I wish I could get a gold coin for every king and queen, but sometimes, it just gets to be too much. I have three of Elizabeth I six pences. Here is the better of the two hammered pieces that I have.
