| 裏面の説明 | A stylised spray of three thrift plants (Armeria maritima) rises from a decorative base at the centre of the field, with the globular flowerheads rendered in high relief and fine detail. A beaded inner border frames the central motif, separating it from the surrounding legend. The denominational inscription THREE PENCE and the date 1937 appear in the lower arc, while the abbreviated royal titles FID : DEF IND : IMP flank the upper portion. The initials E and R appear to either side of the thrift spray, denoting Edwardus Rex. |

Edward VIII abdicated in December 1936 before any coins bearing his effigy entered circulation, but the Royal Mint had already progressed pattern work for the 1937 coinage. This piece is among those struck in anticipation of a reign that never formally produced circulating currency. The "Thrift" or floral threepence was one of several competing designs prepared for the denomination, ultimately superseded when George VI's coinage was rushed into production.
Patterns of this type exist in very small numbers, struck for approval rather than distribution. The Giordano reference corpus remains the principal catalog for Edward VIII pattern material.
