Edward VIII 1936

Edward VIII Coins

On the 11th of December 1936, the then King Edward VIII, abdicated the throne in favour of his brother George VI. He did so to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson. Having proclaimed to the public at the time "I have found it impossible to carry on the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge the duties of king, as I would wish to do, without the help and support of the woman I love". From then on he took on the title of Duke of Windsor. 

While no portraitEdward VIII Coinswere made, coins were issued in Britain's former colonies. British West Africa, for example, had three denominations struck, the 1/10th Penny, 1/2 Penny, and the Penny. You can find all the coins issued by the former colonies under Edward VIII collectables.

Below you'll find Patina Retro Patterns and reproductions showing what Edward VIII’s coinage might have looked like had he not abdicated.

Edward VIII, Crown (Wreath) 1936 Patinas

The Wreath Crown was first issued in 1927 under King George V and last issued in 1936, the year of Three Kings. International Numismatic Agency decided to retro-issue a 1936 wreath crown under the new Monarch King Edward VIII. Of course, Edward was king but never had a Coronation. These are beautiful examples using the finest engravers and struck to top quality. They are in Proof condition struck in 8 different metals and only 100 pieces in each metal were ever struck. These are Rare and important, especially if you collect Wreath Crowns. Remember only 100 were struck in each metal.
