附加信息	Edward VIII abdicated in December 1936 before a coronation ever took place, making every coin struck in his name across British territories a one-year type by default. New Guinea's issue is notable because, unlike most Edward VIII coinage, it actually entered circulation rather than being recalled wholesale — the territory was remote enough that replacement was neither swift nor thorough. Edward famously insisted his effigy face left, breaking the alternating-direction convention that had held since Charles II.
