Comment
House of Tudor (1485-1603), Henry VII (1485-1509), Gold Angel, class V.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Angel - Henry VII (class V) ND (1504-1509) 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, and marked a shift towards more secular imagery on coins.
