Henry VIII 'Sovereign' Penny


January's prize find was a silver sovereign penny of Henry VIII, London Mint, 1509-26. The term sovereign refers to the design of the king seated on a throne as depicted on the gold sovereign coin of the time. I found this coin while searching a new field as a guest. Now, having given the coin to the landowner, I have permissionto search the field in my own right.
