1509 SILVER PENNY HENRY VIII HOLED CANTERBURY

A distinctive penny struck at the Canterbury mint during Henry VIII's inaugural regnal year, 1509. This holed example carries dual historical significance: the Canterbury mint attribution places it within a specific monetary production centre, whilst the perforation documents its extended use as active currency. The hole, likely applied during medieval or early modern circulation, adds authentic provenance rather than diminishing numismatic merit. Canterbury mint coins represent a specialised collecting focus, particularly scarce in surviving examples. This piece appeals to collectors pursuing regional mint studies, Tudor coinage specialists, and those valuing coins with documented working histories. A notable specimen combining rarity, mint attribution, and genuine historical wear.
