Sovereign has been associated with the British monarchy since 1489, more than five centuries ago. Henry VII. he then called for "new gold money" to demonstrate the wealth and power of the new Tudor dynasty after the Battle of Bosworth, and the coin therefore required a name that exuded majesty and authority. Each successive Tudor monarch, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I, continued to issue sovereigns throughout their reigns until the Stuart King James I ascended the throne.
