[QUOTE="laudare, post: 698488, member: 20704"]Yes, I thought the text would show up in the pic but the pic is too small. I will also try to take better pics when I get a chance. The card says: A year after Edward VII came to the throne, matt proof sovereigns were struck for 1902 cased sets. Ordinary specimens were minted for each year of his reign after that at the London, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney mints. Coins were struck at the Ottawa mint during 1908,1909, and 1910. These are unusual as they have the mintmark 'C' for Canada rather than the city. The portrait of Edward VII on these sovereigns was designed by George William de Saulles and the reverse has Pistrucci's St. George and Dragon. Specifications Diameter: 22mm Weight: 7.9881g Metal: 22 Carat Gold Minting Year: 1902-1910 Obverse: Edward VII Reverse: George and the Dragon Stephen R. Allen Managing Director 1775[/QUOTE]
