Comment
House of Tudor (1485-1603), Henry VII (1485-1509), Group V Sovereign, lis/cross crosslet mintmark.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sovereign - Henry VII (Group V; lis/cross crosslet) ND (1504-1505) coin is that it features a unique design element known as the "lis" or "fleur-de-lis," which is a stylized representation of a lily flower. This symbol was commonly used in heraldry and coinage during the Renaissance period and was associated with purity, light, and nobility. The inclusion of the lis on this coin adds an extra layer of historical and cultural significance to an already valuable and sought-after collector's item.
