The King Edward VII Coin Collection

As the eldest son of Queen Victoria, Edward was the flamboyant, fun-loving prince with a reputation for enjoying life. However, despite initial reservations, once he ascended the throne, Edward VII took the weight of crown in his stride, approaching it with the dignity and gravity it required. In a relatively short reign, he became known as ‘Edward the Peacemaker’ and the ‘Uncle of Europe’, due to his talent for diplomacy.

The King Edward VII Coin Collection features a stunning 68 coins minted during the relatively-short reign of Edward VII. From the farthing and shilling to the half crown and florin, it includes every denomination issued for circulation. What’s more, every silver coin in the collection is minted from 92.5% silver, a level not seen in over 100 years! That’s a total of 41 sterling silver coins, including the sought-after ‘Standing Britannia’ florins.

For stunning display and safe storage, a handsome wooden display chest is included with every collection − at no extra charge! With a lock and key for added security, a glass top for easy viewing and silver-toned hardware for added style, it’s the perfect way to protect and showcase your collection.

Your historic coins will arrive sealed in durable, crystal-clear cases ready to be placed in the chest, safe from dust and fingerprints. To enhance your enjoyment of the collection, alongside every coin you receive will be a special collector card reliving key events from the year the coin was minted. These can be easily placed in the drawer at the base of the display for safe keeping.
