Best Value Edward VII Sovereigns
22 carat gold Edward VII Sovereigns with our choice of year. The eldest son of Queen Victoria, Edward acceded to the throne in 1901 and was crowned the following year. The period of his short reign is known as the ‘Edwardian age’: a time of peace and prosperity in Britain and the high water mark of the British Empire. The coins minted in the UK from 1902 until Edward VII’s death in 1910 featured a portrait of the King by George William de Saulles and these Sovereigns are no different. It’s an uncrowned portrait that shows the monarch facing right, sporting a fashionable beard. This design was created for Edward’s coinage but the reverse used on his Sovereigns is much older, dating back to 1817 when the first modern Sovereigns were issued. Benedetto Pistrucci’s St George and the dragon motif was used on these gold coins throughout Edward’s reign. Our best value Edward VII Sovereigns are offered in Fine (F) to Very Fine (VF) grades.
