Edward V and his younger brother Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York, were The Princes in the Tower. The were taken away and never seen again, presumably killed on the orders of Richard III although no-one knows for sure.
The coins of Edward V continued the designs of Edward IV (as did Richard III's coins). Inspecting the coins and the order of the dies have led to experts dating the gold Angels but the silver coins (Groat, Penny, Halfpenny) still carry a little guesswork.
