King Edward VII Coins
| Explore our collection of King Edward VII coins, issued during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910. Known as the Edwardian era, this period represents a golden age of British imperial coinage, with Sovereigns and other denominations struck across the United Kingdom and the wider British Empire. This category includes a wide range of historic and collector coins such as gold Sovereigns, Half Sovereigns, Double Sovereigns, Five Pound gold coins, Crowns, Florins, and silver denominations, many of which were struck at The Royal Mint in London as well as branch mints in Australia, Canada, India, and South Africa. The most iconic design of the era is the classic St George and the Dragon reverse by Benedetto Pistrucci, used on Sovereigns throughout Edward VII’s reign, paired with the portrait of King Edward VII by George William de Saulles. These coins are widely regarded as some of the most important examples of early 20th-century British numismatics. Many Edward VII coins were struck in 22-carat gold for circulation across the British Empire, making them both historically significant and highly desirable to modern collectors and investors. Surviving examples often show signs of circulation, adding to their historical character and authenticity. Whether you are collecting British monarch coins, historic gold Sovereigns, or Imperial-era numismatics, King Edward VII coins represent a key transitional period between Victorian and modern British coinage. |
