Victorian leaves. CONDITION RARITY, and a terrific example for the type as well as variety. Virtually all white with pools of glistening luster cascading across the open fields. For specialists in the Canadian coinage of Edward VII, a coin that should generate considerable interest." This type was struck at London and Heaton 1902-10. This date is slightly scarce. The "broad leaves" variety (not shown here) earns a slight premium.
