Additional information

Edward VII died on May 6, 1910, making this the final year of his coinage. The 1910 sixpence was struck before his death but continued to be issued throughout the year, meaning pieces entered circulation under a king who was already gone. Mintage figures for this year are not dramatically low, but the issue marks the end of a decade-long reign that saw relatively stable silver coinage — a contrast to what followed under George V, when the Mint struggled with wartime metal pressures and eventually debased the silver standard in 1920.
