Comment
House of Tudor (1485-1603), Henry VII (1485-1509), Gold angel, class III (new dies).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Angel - Henry VII (class III) ND (1493-1504) coin is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a British monarch, specifically King Henry VII, on its obverse (front side). This was a departure from previous coins that had featured generic designs or symbols, and marked a shift towards more personalized and realistic depictions of royalty on currency.
