Henry VIII. 1509-1547. AR Penny (0.64 gm, 2h). Canterbury mint. Posthumous coinage, 1547-1551. ROSA SINE SPIN, crowned facing bust / CIVITAS CANTOR (over LONDON), coat-of-arms surmounted by cross fourchée. North 1887; SCBC 2417. Good VF. ($400)

A remarkable dual mintmark penny. Apparently a London signed reverse die was sent to Canterbury, where the mintmark was re-worked to the proper reading.
