Henry VII Silver Groat 1485-1509AD
26x27mm, 2.95g

The profile issue groats and halfgroats introduced by Henry VII display very fine portrait details like the testoon of the period. They represent a change from the representational facing bust image used for several centuries before, to the familiar obverse format still used today.

Regular issue, mm. cross-crosslet, full flan example, struck on good metal.
