From a limited edition of 1,350 pieces, this new addition to the British Monarchs series is a tribute to King Edward VII. This new Royal Mint series celebrates the Kings and Queens of the British Isles and the fascinating coinage issued during their reign. Starting in 2022, each new release features a historic royal portrait, remastered for modern money by The Royal Mint's design team. Their 3D modelling process preserves the imperfections of rare old coins and places them alongside a modern effigy of the late Queen Elizabeth II. This fourth release in the British Monarchs collection stars Edward VII who acceded to the throne in 1901 on the death of his mother, Queen Victoria. He ruled for less than ten years, through a period that we Brits call the Edwardian era, marked by technological and social changes. All of Edward VII’s UK coinage featured a right-facing portrait of the King by George William de Saulles which shows Edward with a full beard. This has been recreated for these 2022 proof coins, capturing the fine detail of de Saulles effigy. It looks beautiful on this .999 fine silver proof coin which weighs 31.21 grams. It comes in its original presentation packaging from The Royal Mint with a numbered certificate of authenticity enclosed.
