This set, featuring an obverse design by George William de Saulles and composed of pure silver, represents a tangible connection to the reign of Edward VII, who reigned from 1901 until his passing in 1910.  

Edward VII, born Albert Edward in 1841, was the second child and eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Often referred to as ‘Bertie’, he spent nearly six decades as Prince of Wales, poised to inherit the British throne. Upon acceding to the throne, he actively participated in modernising the British Home Fleet and restructuring the British Army after the Second Boer War. His diplomatic prowess earned him the moniker ‘Peacemaker’ for fostering amicable relations with European nations.
