The "Year of the Three Kings" refers to 1936, when Britain saw three successive monarchs — George V died in January, Edward VIII abdicated in December over his relationship with Wallis Simpson, and George VI acceded before the year closed. The Gambia, then a British crown colony, had no coins struck in Edward VIII's name for circulation; his reign was too brief and the colonial minting machinery too slow. This 1994 commemorative addresses that historical gap directly, issuing a retrospective piece nearly six decades after the constitutional crisis it marks.
