Inscription Will _Indicate King Edward’-so New
_ \
f
° I   Title of Sovereignity. -    'xi
LoNnon,‘Eag., Dee. 13.-Iuqnlrlcs made
at `th_e' Mint and the Post Office' with re-
ference to the new coinage and the new
issue of stamps meet with the answer
that no oflicial information can be given
yet. The newcolnage will not be ready?
this year. The intention is 'to issue it as~
early as possible in the new year. lt is
just possible that the new stamps may
be' issued at the same time. There is' an
expectation that the portrait of His
Majesty, both on the stamps and the
coins, wili bein the nature of a profile,
though not a full profile. The inscriptions
on thecoin will of course, indicate #King
Edward’s title of sovereignity as recently
amended. Some years ago there was a
suggestion as to whether the ilorin of,
half-crown might not be dropped onto
circulation, and curiosity now exists
whether any éhange of this sort will,be
made in connection with the issue of thee
coinage. Some people appear to fancy
that we are, in a day as it were, to bid
good-bye to Queen Vict.oria’s money, and
have it replaced all round by that bearing
the portrait of Edward VIL It is hardly
necessary to say that the change
will be quite a ,gradual one. A complete
pared, but the order of their issue wlil
depend on the call of the banks. No
Queen Victoria pennies were issued for a
year or two after her Majesty ascended
tho throne, as a great supply of copper
was in existence
set of King Edward coins have been pre- ‘
is that the new pen!!! 011° Wm 5° “df
That is the color -favored by the `Pmtal
Union, to which Great Britain belongs
for all stamps equivalent in value to
a penny; nor would it be a novelty Qin this
country, for most ofns remember the red-
dish Quecn’s head that preceeded` the
.present lilac one. Host of the
countries belonging tc the Postal
Union give effect to this prihclple, and
the view is that Great Britain will
now do so. Our halfpenny stamp is
green, in accordance with the Postal
Union scheme for that value, while _cur
twopence halfpenny stamp comes near
the same requirement in being ' almost
blue. The world’s postal tramc is mostly
carried under stamps of a. halfpenny, a
penny and twopenee-halfpenuy, or their
equivalents ln other coinages. The idea
of the Postal Union hasbeen to simplify
the handling of this postal tradic by hav-
ing kindered colors for kindred values.
Thatthere wil-l be any changes to speak
about it in the ,more expensive stamps,
apart from the xiew desiizn itself, is not
thought to be very likely.
