关于此套币: Eldest son of Queen Victoria, born November 9, 1841, and died May 6 1910. Edward succeeded to the throne on Jan. 22, 1901, at the age of 59 and was crowned on Aug. 9, 1902. As king, he took a deep interest in foreign policy and by his travels helped to promote better international understanding. The popularity he acquired in France smoothed the way for the Anglo-French entente of 1904. The end of his reign was marked by the constitutional crisis over the attempt to limit the veto power of the House of Lords. Edward cooperated somewhat reluctantly with the Liberal ministry of Herbert Asquith, but the issue was still unresolved at the time of his death. He was succeeded by his only surviving son, George V.
Start Date: April 2006. Update: May 2012 - Haven't had a lot of action on this series. I've upgraded my 1902 from Heritage, and added the 1909 from e-bay. Noted is I crossed it even from an NGC holder.
