EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and exquisite Penny of King Henry III, minted in 1257-58. Crafted from gold, this coin measures a mere 1.8 cm in diameter and is currently housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. King Henry III reigned over England from 1216 to 1272, and this particular penny is one of only eight known to exist today. It was produced for just over a year, making it an incredibly valuable piece of numismatic history. The obverse side of the coin features a seated image of King Henry III himself, holding a sceptre as a symbol of his royal authority. The reverse side displays intricate stamping with an enthroned male figure. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back to medieval Britain when coins like these were not only currency but also symbols of power and prestige. This photograph captures every minute detail with precision and allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating such an extraordinary piece. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art prints like this one, we can now admire and study this historical treasure without any commercial intentions. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past that remind us of the rich heritage left behind by great rulers like King Henry III.
