Henry VIII (1509-1547) gold Sovereign ND (1526-1544) AU Details (Obverse Graffiti) NGC, Tower mint, Second coinage, Lis over Sunburst mm on obverse, Arrow mm on reverse. S-2267, N-1782, Schneider-573. An exceedingly pleasing and majestic issue, this large-size gold denomination has always carried with it great significance, as a historical relic from the reign of Henry VIII to its incredibly collectible nature in modern numismatics. The exceptionally broad flan lends an inviting canvas on which a highly artistic and intricate design was engraved; no detail omitted as can be seen through the decorative pillars on the sides of the throne to the minute cross-hatching on the throne's back. While obverse graffiti is apparent to the fields and robe, these ultimately do little to hinder the overall appreciation of the piece at hand. Ex.
