My English Monarchs, William I to Henry VIII

BillJones

I have collecting English monarchs from Edward the Confessor to Elizabeth II. I have not limited myself to pennies. Here is my run:

William I, 1066 - 87

William II, 1087 - 1100

Henry I, 1100 - 1135

Stephen, 1135-7 and 1141-54

Henry II 1154 - 89, Yes I know, someone punched "HII" on it in the upper part of the obverse

Richard I 1189 - 99, French Denier of Aquitaine - Richard was far more French than he was British

John 199 - 1216 Irish Half Penny for the time when John was the Lord of Ireland

Henry III 1216 - 72

Edward I 1272 - 1307

Edward II 1307 - 27

Edward III 1327 - 77, Gold half noble - Edward introduced the gold coinage

Richard II 1377 - 99 Half Penny

Henry IV 1399 - 1413 gold noble

Henry V 1413 - 22, Two Pence

Henry VI 1422 - 61, 1470 - 1 Groat

Edward IV 1461 - 70, 1471 - 83, Groat

Richard III 1483 - 5 Penny

Henry VII 1485 - 1509 Groat - realistic portrait

Henry VIII 1509 - 47 Two Pence, Young portrait - I am still looking for an "old Henry"

Nice set!

The most imposing Henry VIII portrait, and the one that reminds you of the famous painting, is on the testoon, which is unfortunately a very expensive coin when "nice".
