SAXE-COBURG-GOTHA. Edward VII. 1901-1910. AR Crown (38mm, 28.22 g, 12h). Dated 1902; RY 2. Bare head right / St. George slaying the dragon right; regnal year on edge. ESC; SCBC. Superb EF, toned. The regnal year is 2 because Victoria died in January of 1901, and Edward’s coinage only began in the second year of his reign. This issue is his only crown, apart from the proof of the same year.
