Comment
House of Tudor (1485-1603), Henry VII (1485-1509), gold angel, class IV (1504-05).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Angel - Henry VII (class IV) ND (1504-1505) 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 side. This was a departure from previous coins that had featured religious symbols or abstract designs. The inclusion of the monarch's portrait was a sign of the increasing power and influence of the British monarchy at the time.
