Edward VII 1901 - 1910

1902 Bronze Farthing in Fine

In 1905 King Edward VII was on the throne, finally having taken over from his late mother, Queen Victoria. Arthur Balfour is Prime Minister and Chelsea has just been elected to the Football League. The GPO had just gotten rid of horse-drawn carriages to deliver the mail from London to Brighton and replaced them with Motor Lorries. The 1st public protest by a suffragette took place and Alf Common became the first £1000 football transfer. The Farthing was the smallest denomination regularly issued. You had the King’s bare head on one side and a seated Britannia on the other side. We can offer you the King Edward VII Farthing in Fine condition for your collection.

1907 Bronze Farthing in Fine

Solid 22ct Gold Half Sovereign of King Edward VII. Issued from 1902-1910 and weighing 3.99 grams. These coins are in Very Fine Condition. Dates supplied subject to current stock availability but the more you order the more variety we will try to provide.

The Half Sovereign has always been more difficult to get than the full Sovereign, because they made a lot less Half Sovereigns than Sovereigns. We found a group of the King Edward VII Half Sovereigns that we had put away years ago. We checked with the bullion houses to see what the current price was. Surprise, surprise, none of the bullion houses had any in stock and they hadn’t had any for quite some time. We have nice Very Fine examples of the 1902 Half Sovereign. Get them while you can, at Coincraft – Britain’s Coin Shop we have almost everything a collector could want…

1905 Edward VII gold Half Sovereign. Very Fine. Everyone who collects the coins of King Edward VII knows that the silver coins dated 1905 are Rare. Well here is a Gold coin of King Edward VII dated 1905 and it won’t cost you the earth… It is the Half Sovereign which, as most collectors realise, is far more difficult to get than the full sovereign. We remember years ago at Christmas time, when gold coins were wanted for jewellery for gifts, that Half Sovereigns sold for more money than full Sovereigns. Even though they contained half the gold. The coins on offer are struck by the Royal Mint in 22ct Gold, weigh about 4 grams and are in Very Fine condition. They are now almost 120 years old and certainly can be called antique. Many things going for it, especially the quality and the price.
