1902 Double-Pound
His coronation was the 9th of August 1902 and there were two proof sets issued with that date. The first was a long set consisting of five pounds, two pounds (pictured here), sovereign, half-sovereign, crown, halfcrown, florin, shilling, sixpence, Maundy Set (four coins). The second, short set, was issued which contained all of the preceding with the exception of the five- and two-pound pieces. There were a total of 15,123 proof coins (of each denomination from the sovereign down to the Maundys) struck in 1902. There were 8,066 struck of the five- and two-pound coins. Of interest is that for the first time, the proof coins were struck in Matt style rather than the polished style. This gives the coins a dull finished look.
Gold coins were struck not only in London, but also in Ottawa, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. See here for the mintmarks used and for their locations on the coins. A third-farthing coin was struck for use in Malta, and is included in standard references of the coins of England and Great Britain. Two styles of bronze penny and halfpenny were struck. A normal tide version which continued for the rest of the years of the reign, and a much rarer low-tide variant which was struck only in 1902. See here to learn how to differentiate between normal and low-tide coins.
