The most intrepid of stories lays behind the capture of the Vigo treasure as opposed to the other companies or privateers who had their mark placed upon the coins in other reigns. The Battle of Vigo Bay occurred on 23rd October 1702 and it was after the Battle that the treasure largely of silver with a tiny proportion of gold, was captured and transported back to Southampton on the south coast of England. From there the treasure was brought with great pomp and ceremony to London, overseen by the Mint Master himself, one Mr Isaac Newton, to then be turned into coinage at the Royal Mint in the Tower of London. The treasure consisted of absolutely thousands of pounds in weight of silver, but a mere seven pounds and eight ounces of gold.

Ex Spink Numismatic Circular, February 1991, item 150. Ex Clarendon Collection, part I, Bonhams, February 2006, lot 699. Used as a plate coin to illustrate the reign of Henry VII for the History of the Gold Sovereign in the Bentley Collection preface published 2012, published by Baldwin. The fine gold Sovereign of twenty shillings was first introduced in England in the Renaissance period by King Henry VII from 28th October 1489 and ran through five different types of design till the end of the reign. The third type was issued until the Autumn of 1495 whereupon there was a break in issue until 1502, the well-proportioned design being a truly life-like improvement on that seen for the earlier groups I and II. The third issue features the mint mark of dragon which was reserved only for use upon the gold Sovereign coinage and signified the Welsh Tudor descent from Owen Tudor. The dragon is also featured on one of the throne pillars, along with the other Tudor Royal beast of the Greyhound signifying the maternal line from Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and Derby. The group III gold Sovereigns are very rare and Potter and Winstanley could only trace sixteen examples in museums and private collections when they published their articles on Henry VII and Henry VIII some 55 years ago. Since that time not many more examples have emerged giving a population today in the order of 20-25 examples known of this piece of Tudor art.
