Historical Reconstruction: Anne Boleyn 'The Moost Happi' Portrait Medal

There are an awful lot of tacky 'souveneirs' available featuring Anne Boleyn. As an Anne supporter, I refuse to buy it - but this medal is absolutely stunning and well worth the price. It's not often I flag up anything for sale, but this is worth every penny. I ordered mine and am delighted with it.
