Britain’s King Edward VII reigned from 1901, after the death of Queen Victoria, until his own death in 1910. Hong Kong, a British colony throughout this era, issued several coins featuring Edward VII’s image. Hong Kong coin collectors often look for coins from this time and from this king when completing a set of a specific denomination of coin, a Hong Kong coin from each British monarch before HK was returned to China in 1997, or whatever other approach a certain collector may take when building a Hong Kong coin collection. Some coin collectors may also hunt for Hong Kong postage stamps of Edward VII.
Denominations of coins issued during the King Edward VII era include a 1 cent coin of bronze; a 5-cent coin made of silver; a 10-cent coin; and 20- and 50-cent coins — these last three also of silver. There were no dollar coins issued in Hong Kong by Edward VII.
