Edward VII 1901 - 1910

In the short reign of King Edward VII, only one crown was ever made, that was in 1902 for his Coronation. They have his bare head on one side and St. George slaying the dragon on the other side. They are struck in Sterling Silver and the mintage was just 250,000 Crowns. This is a very important type coin, because if you want an Edward VII Crown you have to get a 1902 one or none at all. We have been building our supplies up again and finally have enough to offer this Edward VII Crown in Fine and in Very Fine condition. The choice is yours, but supplies are very limited.
