Historical informations

This silver half-groat was minted in England during the reign of King Henry VII (1485–1509), the first monarch of the Tudor dynasty. As a denomination worth two pence, it formed part of the kingdom’s everyday monetary system. Its production reflects Henry VII’s efforts to restore royal authority and stabilise England after the Wars of the Roses. The coin belongs to the late medieval transition towards the early modern period in English history. This example is preserved in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
