In the Patina series, there were two types of Edward VIII pieces issued, one with a long legend on the obverse and one with a short legend. This is the short legend type. You have the Crown and legend Commonwealth of Australia and the date 1937 on one side and the bare head of the King on the obverse. The short legend variety has larger lettering to help fill the space. We can offer them here in copper (mintage of just 575 pieces). They are full crownsized and in Prooflike condition. Worth adding to your collection, as supplies are running short as is the legend.

In 1987 they issued a Canadian Edward VIII crownsized patina for the 50th anniversary of the wedding of H.R.H. the Duke of Windsor and the Duchess of Windsor. 1937-1987. You have the bare head portrait of the Duke of Windsor formerly King Edward VIII on one side. The dates of his rule as King 20.1.36-11.12.36 are below the bust. The other side has a Beaver and Maple Leafs, the symbols of Canada and the date 1987. Many collectors do not even know that these pieces exist, let alone have them in their collection. We have the cupro-nickel and goldine pieces on offer this issue, but our supplies are not all that great.
Canadian Patina piece featuring Edward VIII with a bare head. The reverse has the famous trapper and native guide in a canoe with a pine tree behind them. The design was used on most Canadian Silver Dollars from 1935 until 1966. The mintage was just 750 pieces. They are struck in copper and in Prooflike condition and we think are very important to any Edward VIII collection.
