Comment
The mint letter (H) can be found between "U" and "N" of "NEWFOUNDLAND".Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Cent - Edward VII 1904-1909 coin from Newfoundland is that it was the first coin to feature the image of a British monarch, King Edward VII, on a Canadian coin. This was a significant departure from the previous coins issued by the Dominion of Canada, which had featured images of animals, plants, and other symbols. The inclusion of the king's image was a nod to Newfoundland's status as a British colony at the time.
