Question
i have a gold coloured henry v111 coin with the date 1491-1547 and it as a picture of the king as at worth anything

Answer
Hello Lorraine.
Sorry to be so slow answering, but I've been away for a few days and forgot to log myself off as absent.
If it has the dates 1491-1547 on it then it's not a genuine coin, they either had no date at all or the date it was minted. It sounds like it's a modern commemorative medallion and is therefore worth very little, if anything.
Sorry for the delay.
