| Aanvullende informatie |
Edward VIII abdicated in December 1936 before his coronation ever took place, which meant no coins bearing his effigy entered circulation in South Africa or anywhere else in the Empire. This piece was struck in 1937 as a medallic souvenir — almost certainly produced privately or semi-officially to capitalize on the abdication's notoriety — using brass rather than the silver of a genuine crown. The gilding is a later enhancement, applied to improve saleability rather than for any official purpose.
