A collection of 12 heavily circulated British base metal coins, primarily copper and bronze, dating from the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. The lot includes large-format coinage of the Penny and Half Penny denominations. Obverses feature the profile effigies of King Edward VII, with visible Latin inscriptions including EDWARDVS VII DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX FID DEF IND IMP. At least one coin depicts the effigy of Queen Victoria (VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP). Reverses display the seated figure of Britannia holding a trident and shield, with visible denominations ONE PENNY and HALF PENNY. The coins exhibit heavy wear and extensive surface oxidation consistent with prolonged circulation.
