| Additional information |
Edward VII's sovereigns resumed the St. George type after Victoria's final years had seen the shield reverse dominate. The 1902 issue included a matte proof striking for the coronation year — produced in limited numbers by the Royal Mint and distributed as presentation pieces — which remains among the more distinctive proof finishes in the sovereign series, quite different from the brilliant proofs issued for later monarchs.
Dies for this type were also produced at branch mints in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Ottawa, and Bombay, each carrying their own mint marks. The London issues bear no mint mark at all.
