The 1904 Edward VII Silver Sixpence is part of the early‑20th‑century sterling‑silver series struck at the Royal Mint between 1902 and 1910. These coins are popular with collectors for their elegant bare‑head portrait by De Saulles and the attractive wreath reverse with a crowned denomination.
The 1904 issue sits firmly within the Edwardian silver coinage period, known for its refined engraving, high production quality, and classic pre‑decimal design language.
The obverse features the uncrowned (bare‑head) portrait of King Edward VII, facing right. Legend: EDWARDVS VII D.G. BRITT: OMN: REX F.D. IND: IMP: Portrait by George William de Saulles, whose work defined the entire Edwardian silver series.
The reverse displays:
- A large crowned “SIX PENCE” denomination
- Encircled by a laurel and oak wreath
- Date 1904 below
This wreath‑and‑crown motif is one of the most recognisable designs of the Edward VII silver coinage.
