From the Laird U. Park, Jr. Collection, purchased from Art and Paul Kagin, April 1956.

Though no portrait issues were ever struck for any of Henry VIII’s eight wives, three were commemorated on Henry crown gold coinage and the silver harp types struck for use in Ireland. On this example, the crowned letter I to the right of the devices represents Henry’s third wife, Jane Seymour. She would die only a few weeks after the birth of her first child, the future king Edward VI.
