Comment
House of Tudor, Henry VII (1485-1509), Regular profile bust issues.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groat - Henry VII (profile bust; Regular issue) 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 (front side). This was a departure from earlier coins that had featured symbolic images or abstract designs. The inclusion of the king's portrait was a sign of the growing power and influence of the monarchy in England during the 16th century.
