need help to ID my oldest CRH find

[Mercury63]

Could not go thru my usual 2 boxes of halves on Friday, but did them this evening. First box yielded a Walker, a 64 and 4 40%. The second box was a silver skunk (unusual for me). However, in it I found my oldest CRH find yet - a 1906 Penny. T

The penny has a figure sitting with a shield and a pitch folk on the front and say "One Penny" with date of 1906. On the back it says "Edwardvs VII DEI GRA:BRITT OMN: REX FIDEF: IND: IMP:" with a mans bust facing right. I am guessing it is an English Penny. Any info on what it is - British or other part of the empire ? Value ? Thanks.
