Old Coppernose
Henry VIII of England got this nickname because the silver content in the coins he issued was reduced towards the end of his reign, and the copper underneath would show through, particularly on the protruding nose of his portrait on the coins.
What is really surprising is to see his image on a window in a Roman Catholic church. This is possibly the only one.
