Description

The Edward VII One Penny, issued between 1902 and 1910, is a classic piece of British pre-decimal coinage from the short reign of King Edward VII. The obverse features the uncrowned portrait of the King, while the reverse displays the iconic seated figure of Britannia holding her trident and shield, with the sea shown in the background.

Struck in bronze, these large pennies were widely used in everyday life throughout the Edwardian era and offer a fascinating glimpse into Britain at the beginning of the 20th century. The series also includes several interesting varieties, particularly the 1902 Low Tide and Normal Tide reverses, which add extra appeal for specialist collectors.

With its traditional Britannia design, impressive size and strong historical character, the Edward VII One Penny is an attractive addition to collections of British pennies, Edward VII coins and historic pre-decimal currency.
