This 1902 gold sovereign coin, minted in the United Kingdom, features a portrait of King Edward VII by G.W. DeSaulles. The inscription on the coin reads "EDWARDVS VII D.G. BRITT: OMN: REX F.D. IND: IMP." meaning "Edward VII, by the grace of God, King of all Britains, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India". This coin is an excellent example of British coinage from the early 20th century and serves as a reminder of Edward VII's reign, a time of significant political and social change in the UK.
