A new £2 coin featuring the Mary Rose will go into limited circulation this year. 2011 is the 500th anniversary of the launching of the Mary Rose in 1511 Henry VIII most famous battleship.
A special gold version of the coin can be obtained from the Royal Mint www.royalmint.com
Also some of the costumes from the 4th Series of the Tudors staring Jonathan Rhys Myers go on display at the Mary Rose Museum including Henry VIII’s orange and bronze war costume from the final series.
Other costumes on show will be those that were worn by Jonathan Rhys Meyers as King Henry VIII, Joss Stone as Anne of Cleves, Joely Richardson as Catherine Parr, Maria Doyle Kennedy as Catherine of Aragon, Natalie Dormer as Anne Boleyn, Annabelle Wallis as Jane Seymour and Tamzin Merchant as Catherine Howard.
