Edward VII 1902 11-piece short matt proof Set

Edward VII (1901-10), 11-piece gold and silver "short" matt proof Set, 1902, Coronation year, gold Sovereign and Half Sovereign, silver Crown, Halfcrown, Florin, Shilling, Sixpence and Maundy Set, all housed in original Royal Mint case with gold block crest and lettering (S.PS10). Some coins with hairlines, otherwise nearly as struck.

These "short gold" proof sets were produced to celebrate the Coronation of King Edward VII on the 9th August 1902 (having been postponed from 26th June due to the King's appendicitis), with a mintage of 7,057 sets, which is over 1,000 less than the full "long" gold matt proof set. This year is the only time a matt finish set has been produced thus far for a Coronation.

The Latin legend across these coins translates as "Edward the Seventh, by the grace of God, King of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India"
