In January 1901 King Edward VII acceded to the British throne with the first business strike
fifty cent pieces struck in 1902. The reverse design features a partitioned ring design with
50 in the inner circle with the legend, STRAITS SETTLEMENTS. FIFTY CENTS with the date following.
The obverse features a crowned bust of King Edward VII with the legend
, EDWARD VII KING & EMPEROR by Royal Mint engraver, George W. De Saules.The Edward VII series continues some of the scarcity
associated with the Victorian issues though to a lesser degree with the later dates quite readily available probably due
to the new design encouraging hoarding. Date set collectors should have no issue completing the
set though the early issues will require significant investment if sought in mint state.
