The gold sovereign coin is a Tudor invention, initially commissioned in 1489 by Henry VII, the first Tudor monarch. Sovereigns were struck for over a hundred years by all the Tudor monarchs – and all their sovereign coins depicted an enthroned portrait of the monarch who issued the coin. Spectacularly remastering both side of the original 1489 gold sovereign.
Coin issued as a part of set (edition limit 199 sets, not known the total mintage for gold 2 Sovereigns). Photos courtesy of Golding Young:
