Comment
The gold sovereign coin is a Tudor invention, initially commissioned in 1489 by Henry VII, the first Tudor monarch. Sovereigns were struck for over a hundred years by all the Tudor monarchs – and all their sovereign coins depicted an enthroned portrait of the monarch who issued the coin. Spectacularly remastering both side of the original 1489 gold sovereign.
