Context
House of Tudor (1485-1603), Henry VIII (1509-47), Third coinage (1544-47), base silver groat. Struck at the Bristol mint with WS monogram for William Sharington. Toward the end of Henry VIII's reign, the silver was progressively debased from 9oz.2dwt. (.758) in 1544, through 6oz.2dwt (.508) in 1545, to 4oz.2dwt. (.342) in 1546. At this last standard, the blanched silver surface of the coins soon wore away to reveal the copper alloy beneath which earned for Henry the nickname 'Old Coppernose'.
