Issued in an extremely limited presentation of just 10 sets, this British Monarchs Henry VII Two-Coin Gold Set brings together past and present in a remarkable way. Struck in two ounces of 999.9 gold and finished to Proof standard, it pairs a new Royal Mint coin inspired by Henry VII with an original Henry VII Angel from the Tudor period, creating a collection with real historical depth and strong collector appeal.
The modern coin features the 2022 British Monarchs Henry VII design, a fine tribute to the first Tudor king and the founder of a new royal dynasty. On the reverse of the historic Angel, St Michael the Archangel is shown defeating a beast symbolising Satan, while the other side carries the traditional ship design with the Royal Arms at the centre, together with the ‘h’ mintmark and Tudor rose. For collectors, this pairing is especially interesting because it links a newly struck Proof coin with a genuine gold coin from Henry VII’s own reign, meaning each set has its own character and may vary slightly depending on the historic Angel included.
Presented in a bespoke case, this set offers a direct connection to the origins of the Tudor monarchy and the coinage of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The contrast between the sharp modern Proof finish of the 2022 coin and the worn, authentic surface of the original Angel makes the set particularly appealing to anyone who values history you can see and hold. It is a rare and thoughtful piece for collectors of British monarchs, Tudor history and historic gold coinage.
