This occurred in 1531, but the titles were not fully confirmed by Parliament before 1534, and were not formally proclaimed till 15 January, 1535. This medal was no doubt struck in commemoration of this acknowledgment of his supremacy. title: British Isles LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Coins and Medals collection: Trinity College Loan STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/226521 CATEGORIES ------ category: medal DATING ------ creation date: 1545 - 1545 creation date earliest: 1545 creation date latest: 1545 CREATORS -------- maker: Henry VIII (1509-1547) maker: London CITATIONS -------- Medallic Illustrations of the History of Great Britain and Ireland to the Death of George II: Vol 1 Medallic Illustrations of the History of Great Britain and Ireland to the Death of George II: Vol 2 ---
