| 表面の説明 | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Edward VII, modelled by George William de Saulles, with a short beard and truncated neck, the engraver's initials 'D.S.' appearing at the base of the truncation. The legend surrounds the portrait along the full periphery within a finely beaded border. The effigy is rendered in high relief with strong portraiture detail consistent with the de Saulles standard used across all Edwardian sovereigns. |

The Ottawa mint's first gold sovereign, struck in 1908, was something of a political achievement for Canada — the result of years of lobbying by Canadian officials who argued that shipping raw Dominion gold to London for coining was an economic absurdity. The mint had opened in 1908 specifically to remedy this, and the sovereign was its inaugural gold issue.
All three years of this Edward VII Ottawa series carry a small "C" mintmark. The 1908 matte proof issue is particularly scarce; the business strikes from all three years saw modest production relative to London and the other branch mints at Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney.
