The last of the Tudor Monarchs, Elizabeth I almost wasn't a monarch at all! The daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth was declared illegitimate when her parents' marriage was annulled. A few deaths in the family later though, and Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister t the throne in 1558.
Reigning until her death in 1603, Queen Elizabeth I lasted 44 years in a turbulent time for Royals and brought much change to the country of England.
Measuring a large 50mm in diameter, struck from two ounces of 99.9% pure silver, and featuring a natural diamond insert and a high relief design, only 500 of this Elizabeth I coin will ever be minted.
