New Guinea

Among all the variety of English colonies in the region, own coins were issued only for Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and New Guinea. The review presents coins issued in these colonies in the first half of the 20th century.

I want to start the review of British coins issued in the first half of the 20th century by showing coins from the reign of Edward VII. Edward ascended the throne at a fairly mature age, at the age of 60. In the short period of his reign, he issued only one line of coins.
