1906 Great Britain Penny

The 1906 Great Britain penny features the iconic portrait of King Edward VII on the obverse (front), designed by George William de Saulles. The inscription reads “EDWARDVS VII DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP” (Edward VII, by the Grace of God, King of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India). The reverse (back) showcases Britannia, seated with a trident and shield, symbolizing strength and maritime heritage. Struck in bronze, this large penny is part of the classic Edwardian coinage and is prized by collectors for its historical value and bold design.
