Positively incredible for any Edwardian minor, mottled rosaceous central hues melting into lapis lazuli as they reach the edges, while coupling with a near flawless strike to produce a stand-out appearance." This type was struck 1902-10. Unlike the larger silver denominations which were modernized, the reverse design carries over from Victorian issues.
