| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed effigy of King Edward VIII facing left, with finely detailed hair, occupying the central field. The portrait, signed with the engraver's initials DRG at the truncation, conveys a modernist sculptural quality characteristic of the proposed coinage designs for this short reign. The encircling Latin legend reads EDWARDVS VIII D: G: BR: OMN: REX, arranged around the periphery within a toothed border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Edward VIII abdicated on December 11, 1936, before any coins bearing his effigy entered circulation in New Zealand or anywhere else in the Commonwealth. What exists instead is a small category of patterns, proofs, and piedforts struck — largely by private mints or speculative die-cutters — to satisfy a collector demand for coins that never officially happened. This piece falls squarely into that shadow category.
The X# reference confirms non-circulation status in the Krause system. At 40g in .9167 gold, the piedfort format doubles the standard planchet thickness purely as a prestige format for the collector market, with no monetary intent behind it.
