British West Africa, Edward VIII 1936H Penny

One of the only countries to issue coins with the name King Edward VIII on them was British West Africa. No countries issued coins with his portrait, just a few with his name on their coins. The coins of British West Africa have a star on them and a hole in the middle, so the natives could sting the coins and then wear them. There are 3 different denominations 1/10th Penny, 1/2 Penny and 1 Penny. All the coins were struck in this country and then sent to Africa. Here we are offering the one penny in Uncirculated condition. Buy it and then you can tell your friends that you own an actual Edward VIII coin. Remember he was King for only 10 months...

British West Africa, Edward VIII, 1/10th Penny Uncirculated 1936

Although no coins of King Edward VIII were released in this country, due to his Abdication, they did strike some coins for the overseas Colonies.

They are the Penny, Halfpenny and Tenth Penny, all were struck with holes in the middle, as the locals had no pockets and the hole allowed them to be stuck on a string that they could then wear. Not only were there three denominations, but they were struck at three different Mints, some of which are scarce. Offered here is the 1/10 penny in uncirculated.

In the brief reign of King Edward VIII, the only coins to be issued for circulation were for overseas territories. The coin on offer is the Halfpence for British West Africa.

The coins are in Uncirculated condition and the KN is the most difficult of the Halfpennies to find.

British West Africa, Edward VIII, London Penny, 1936

While there were no portrait coins of King Edward VIII, the King who abdicated in favour of his brother George VI coins for the colonies were issued. British West Africa had three denominations struck, the 1/10th Penny, 1/2 Penny, and the Penny. All have a six-pointed star on them and a hole in the middle. The hole was for the natives, so they could string the coins together and then wear them. The Penny, which is the coin we are offering you, was struck at three different Mints, Heaton, Kings Norton, and London. The London Mint is the scarcest and that is the one on offer. 1936 British West Africa Penny struck at the Royal Mint in Uncirculated condition, what more can you ask for?

British West Africa, Edward VIII, Penny Error KN Mint, 1936

In the ten months that Edward VIII was King, no coins for this country were struck for circulation. But overseas coins without his portrait but with his name on the coins were struck. One of these places was British West Africa. The Penny which is the largest coin struck, was made at the Royal Mint, Heaton Mint and Kings Norton Mint. The penny on offer here was struck at the Kings Norton mint. All the coins are in Uncirculated condition. The Kings Norton coins were misstruck in larger numbers than the Heaton Mint coins. It should be an interesting item to an Edward VIII collector.
