British One Penny

Brief Description

The obverse features the portrait of King Edward VII facing right. The reverse typically depicts a seated Britannia with a trident, though the image provided shows significant corrosion and blue/green verdigris.

Historical Significance

This coin was issued during the reign of King Edward VII. It represents the height of the British Empire's global influence and remains a common find for metal detectorists and vintage numismatists.

Estimated Value

$0.50 - $2.00 USD (Due to severe corrosion, environmental damage, and verdigris, this specific specimen holds very little monetary value beyond sentimental or historical interest).

Care Instructions

Do not attempt to scrub or scrape the corrosion off with metal tools, as it will damage the surface. Keep in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent further oxidation. Note that the green verdigris can be 'active' and spread to other coins if they are stored in direct contact.
