Edward VII
King Edward VII the son of Queen Victoria lived from 09.11.1841 until 06.05.1910 when he died from a heart attack. He took a great interest in foreign policy and travelled a great deal to help and promote better international understanding.
Edward VII half gold sovereigns coins were made between 1902-1910. All King Edward VII sovereigns depicted the same portrait with the initials “De S” in very small text just bellow the neck. Theses stand for George William De Saulles who designed the portrait showing King Edward without his crown. BRITT OMN is also included in the title to summarize the now growing British Empire. On the reverse side the standard scene is of St George slaying the dragon on both the full and half sovereigns.
The Half Sovereign is a British coin produced since 1817, with Edward VII coins produced between 1902 and 1910. The equivalent decimal currency value of the Half Sovereign would be 50 pence.
1909 Half Sovereign mintage figure: 4,010,715 coins. (This figure may be approximate and may not include all circulation and proof coins minted with the date 1909).
The coin is made of 22 carat gold, 19.3mm in diameter and weighs 3.99 grams. A 22 carat gold value of £28.19 per gram would mean this coin would have a scrap metal value of about £112.48.
The reverse coin design shows St George and the dragon created by Benedetto Pistrucci, the obverse shows a portrait of Edward VII by George William de Saulles and the lettering EDWARDVS VII D:G:BRITT:OMN:REX F:D:IND:IMP:
