Product description
Remarkably, all penny s struck in England under King John bear the name HENRICVS. The obverse shows a portrait of John, the reverse a short cross. The packaging tells the story of both Richard the Lionheart and his brother John.
John reigned from 1199 to 1216 and became deeply unpopular due to heavy taxation, conflicts with the Church, and failed military campaigns in France. In 1215, his rebellious barons forced him at Runnymede to sign the Magna Carta, a milestone in history. This replica is cast directly from an original and crafted in lead-free tin.
A fascinating coins for collectors and for those who bring the high medieval to life.
