NUMISMATIC NOTES
Old English Coins: ~
Henry VIII. husband Of six

Henry VIII. husband Of six
wives and first head Of the
Church of England, was known
to his subjects in his later days
as "Old Coppernose." He
earned the nickname by de-
basing the silver coinage so far
that copper quickly showed
through the more prominent
parts Of circulating coins.
One Of the interesting fea-
lures of English coinage is the
extent to which values and
weights have changed. AS the
English mumismatist, Peter
Seaby. writes, there were two
main reasons for these varia-
tons.
With the gradual increase in
trade with the continent, the
value of silver in relation to
gold changed and it became
essential to make adjustments
to prevent good English money
from being replaced by cheaper
foreign coins. But. beyond this,
when a King was short of
funds he could raise money
either by calling in coins and
reiSsuing them at the same
official rate but with q lower
weight. or he could remint
them from a baser alloy.
To pay off his debts Henry
VIII first alleged the silver by
a third, then by half, and
finally by two-thirds. The
sovereign (so-called because it
bore a design of the king
seated on his throne) which
was first struck by Henry VII
