| Additional information |
Jamaica's copper-nickel coinage of this period was administered through the Crown Agents in London, with blanks and finished coins produced at the Royal Mint. Edward VII's Jamaican issues ran for only six years before his death in May 1910, cutting the series short. The vertical shading in the arms distinguishes this type from the earlier bronze issues and was introduced as part of a broader standardization of colonial coinage under the Colonial Office.
