Richard 111 *1483* Penny

 Richard 111 1483 Penny Hammered Coin. This coin would have originally been minted at the York Mint by the Archbishop Rotherham. 

 Richard 111 was the last king of the Plantagenet dynasty the House of York. He was defeated at the Battle of Bosworth Field where he was killed. He was the brother of Edward 1V, this period of time was known as "The Wars Of The Roses". I have personally read the book set on the wars of the roses by Conn Iggulden, a facinating read and highly recomended.

These coins are steeped in British History. Historical representation of some of the worlds most beautiful coins ever minted.These coins are minted in the modern day with no silver content. They will have the word copy on them which is barley visible unless looked at under a loop.
