A rare English shilling of Henry VII has been bought for a record £52,800 by the Royal Mint Museum.
The shilling, which bears a clear portrait of the first Tudor monarch and is dated from 1502, sold for the whopping sum when it was auctioned by Morton & Eden in London – beating the previous 2015 record of £38,400.
The coin, which when first introduced was known as the testoon, was bought by London coin dealer Christopher Eimer, on behalf of the Royal Mint Museum based in Llantrisant, South Wales.

That is a beautiful coin.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.
