Edward VII Farthing
Edward VII farthings were minted from 1902 to 1910. These small copper coins feature the king’s portrait on the obverse and Britannia on the reverse. They are popular with collectors of low-denomination coins and exhibit a few minor varieties.
Description
Edward VII farthings were struck at the Royal Mint in London. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of King Edward VII with the legend EDWARDVS VII REX IMPERATOR. The reverse shows Britannia seated, holding a trident and shield. Mintages vary by year, with 1902 and 1905 being the most commonly found.
A straightforward series, with no varieties. The mint darkening of farthings
to avoid confusion with the half-sovereign is very obvious, and very
attractive, in high grade examples.
1910 is slightly scarcer than the other dates, but they have all become
harder to find in top grade recently.
