| EDWARD VII HALFPENNY 1902-1910 |
| The obverse of the halfpenny is from an engraving by George William de Saulles. A small "De S" can be found beneath the bust. While the reverse contains the words "HALF PENNY" above a seated picture of Britannia with a date below. The first 1902 halfpennies use the same obverse from the Victoria "old head" halfpenny, however, they are soon changed in 1902 to produce a slightly modified obverse. |

There different varieties of the Edward VII Halfpenny and
most will only be of interest to the specialist collector.
The "low tide" obverse this is the best known variety.
The "low tide" obverse is where the sea horizon is in line
with the hem off Britannia's dress. On the normal obverse
the sea line is in line with the bottom of Britannia's left leg
where it crosses the right leg.
