About the 1902 Penny Edward VII
The Edward VII coin issued in 1902 represents a significant era in British numismatic history, marking the transition from the long reign of Queen Victoria to that of King Edward VII. Designed by the renowned engraver George William de Saulles, the coin features a portrait of Edward VII on the obverse, symbolising a modern British monarchy at the dawn of the 20th century. The reverse showcases the classic design elements typical of the period, reinforcing its aesthetic appeal.

Collectors often seek this coin to complete sets or as an entry point to understanding the broader narrative of British coinage and royal history.
