Queen Mary was the First Queen Regent of England. She ruled for one year before marrying Phillip of Spain. During her 5 year reign, she condemned 280 religious dissenters to be burnt at the stake, initiating the nickname of "Bloody Mary". This Silver Groat has a small edge chip, but good otherwise.
