Geoff T Posted July 6, 2004 Author Posted July 6, 2004 Of course, it's not the most important birthday this week Quote
Edward Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 I'm glad to have the anniversary of the re-issued Sovereign brought to my attention. Where do you get the information on the exact date of issue?As a Friend of Hammered Coinage I would like however to remind us all gently of the original issuance of the Sovereign Enthroned in Majesty during the reign of Henry VII, also valued at 20 shillings and weighing 240 grains, of which I unfortunately have no picture to post. Would Chris or some other archivist-type have one? There were also double-sovereign and treble-sovereign piedforts issued under Hank7. Quote

Chris Perkins Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 I expect it was the front page headline, in such a sleepy Northern city Quote
