King Edward VII - High Values. The designs used for the four high value stamps were based heavily on the Victorian versions, updated by the addition of a crown (Queen Victoria wore a crown on her stamps), an image of the new King, and one or two cosmetic changes involving mainly the designs placed in the spandrels. The one pound stamp saw the greatest visual change with the eye-shaped surround to the Queen s image being replaced by an ornate curved fan, with the words Postage One Pound placed beneath. The first three values, 2/6d, 5/-, and 10/-, were introduced on 5 th April 1902, closely followed by the 1 on 16 th July 1902. 5 th April 1902 5 th April 1902 5 th April 1902 244 dies 93 dies 11 dies 16 th July 1902 6 dies After the death of King Edward VII on 6 th May 1910, the high value stamps were used for another three years, not being replaced until July 1913 by the Seahorses. Note - No distinction has been made between the use of ordinary and chalk-surfaced papers, or the different printings by De La Rue and Somerset House. 268 different dies involving 354 stamps are known on the issue, just three of which are known on all four values: B0410.12 BB D0210.08 DB P4380.01aM P.S/NC The following table sumarises all known G.B. Perfin dies found on the King Edward VII High Value issue. Correct to 31 st December 2016. The Perfin Society Page 1 of 7
