The king is shown in a draped bust, wearing a jewelled collar and ceremonial dress. The peripheral legend reads 'EDWARD VII KING & EMPEROR' in raised Latin capitals, with a beaded inner border encircling the entire obverse field. The mint mark, where applicable, appears to the lower left of the bust. |
