Description:
Offered is a Canada 1902 One Cent Large Copper Coin featuring King Edward VII on the obverse and the traditional Maple Leaf reverse. Graded Mint State-62 (MS-62), this coin displays strong strike quality, original red-brown lustre, and minimal contact marks consistent with the grade. A beautiful example from the first year of issue for the Edward VII cent series.
Struck in solid copper by the Royal Mint in London, the 1902 large cent is prized for its elegant portrait and early 20th-century craftsmanship, marking the beginning of the Edwardian coinage era in Canada.
