There were five British Coins issued in 1902 with the portrait of King Edward (and the latin abbreviation you refer to) on the obverse and St George slaying the dragon on the reverse: Crown - silver, 28.2759g., 92.5% silver (0.8409 tr oz. ASW), 38.5 mm in diameter. Valued at about US$50 in Fine condition, $125 in Extremely Fine, and $250 in Uncirculated. 1/2 sovereign - gold, 3.99g of 91.7% gold (0.1177 tr oz AGW) 1 sovereign - gold, 7.99g of 91.7% gold (0.2355 tr oz AGW) 2 pounds - gold, 15.98g of 91.7% gold (0.4710 tr oz AGW) 5 pounds - gold, 39.94g of 91.7% gold (1.1775 tr oz AGW) Of the gold coins, only the 5 pound coin looks to be valued at more than a 10% or 20% premium above the melt value of the gold, and even then only in Uncirculated condition. Note that versions of the gold coins were produced by Australia as well - while they look very similar, the 1/2 sovereign is worth 2 to 3 times that of its British counterpart, and the 2 pound and 5 pound coins are each worth potentially ten of thousands of dollars.
