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.

I read about it in the Mancheter Evening News.
