The first coins of Australia’s first national currency system, the Edward VII 1910 Year Set is scarce in any grade – and a great Australian rarity when found in the upper echelons of quality. An important opportunity for the serious collector, this is your chance to secure the 1910 Silver Set in excessively rare Choice Uncirculated condition!
In 1910, shipments of new silver coins arrived from Britain’s Royal Mint – Australia’s first threepences, sixpences, shillings and florins. As it turned out, these would be the only Australian coins of Edward VII, with the king dying in May 1910. Despite the fact that these coins formed the foundation of a new currency system, the Australian population was relatively small at the time, and the mintages were low. A mere 2.5 million 1910 Shillings were produced, for example, with the 1910 Florin mintage just 1.25 million.
With well over a century having passed since issue, and so many lost or destroyed for the value of the sterling silver, Australia’s first national coins are scarce in any grade. In addition, the Edward VII 1910 silver coins were naturally the subject of extensive circulation, and, of surviving examples, the number remaining in mint state is infinitesimal. In Choice Uncirculated quality, underpinned by strong detail and lovely natural toning, these coins are virtually never seen in the exceptional state of preservation presented here.
A collection of enormous national significance, and a stand-alone rarity of the utmost prestige and importance, we have just one Choice Uncirculated Edward VII 1910 Year Set available. Click add to cart now!
