Following the Queen Victoria coin (2008) this exceptional series continues with Edward VII (reigned 1901-1910) who, at 59, was the oldest Prince of Wales to become king. The Edwardian Age was shaped by his love of sport and theatre and for his concentrated efforts to foster goodwill among monarchs throughout Europe - an endeavour for which he became affectionately known as the "Uncle of Europe".
This series of coin effigies retraces 170 years from Queen Victoria to Queen Elizabeth II. Each design has been approved by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, preserving the tradition that has governed the preparation of all royal effigies for centuries.
