The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issued a series of gold-plated commemoratives in the early 2000s honoring Tudor monarchs, with Henry VII selected as the figure who united the warring Lancastrian and Yorkist factions after Bosworth Field in 1485. His reign established the financial infrastructure — including a reformed royal mint and early experiments with milled coinage — that would define English monetary administration for generations.
