Description

A modern re-strike. The original, dating to the 16th century, was cast by Giovanni Cavino, a medallist more commonly known for his imitations of Roman large brass coins. It was issued in 1554, and commemorates the return of England to the Church of Rome. Cardinal Pole came to London 14th November 1554, and made a speech to the Parliament on the 27th, inviting a reconciliation with the Holy See. Parliament consented to this on the 29th, and the cardinal absolved the realm from all spiritual censures.
