Edward VII
The various branch mints produced sovereigns for the Royal Mint. A mint mark distinguished the Ottawa Mint’s production of the sovereigns. All sovereigns produced in Ottawa had a “C” mint mark to signify that it was produced in Canada. The sovereigns of 1908 were Specimen coins only and its tiny mintage was struck merely to establish the series. The production for the circulation of sovereigns began in 1909.
