Struck in the first year of King Edward VII’s reign, this coin features a dignified portrait of the king on the obverse, marking the beginning of a new era in the British monarchy. The reverse showcases the iconic St. George slaying the dragon, a design by Benedetto Pistrucci that symbolizes strength and bravery.
