| Aversbeschreibung | Bare-headed left-facing effigy of King Edward VIII occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair. The portrait is unadorned and uncrowned, consistent with the proposed but never officially issued coinage for his reign. A continuous Latin legend encircles the effigy along the raised rim, reading EDWARDVS VIII DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX, separated by stop punctuation. The coin is bordered by a finely executed milled beaded rim. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The central device depicts a crowned lion passant guardant standing atop an ornate Imperial crown, a design adapted from the English shilling reverse type. Flanking the central device are two shield-shaped panels bearing royal cyphers. The date 19·37 is divided to either side of the lion's body in the mid-field. A border of raised beads frames the design, with the abbreviated legend FID·DEF IND·IMP arching across the upper field. The denomination SIXPENCE is inscribed in large capital letters along the lower exergue. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Edward VIII abdicated in December 1936 before any coins bearing his effigy entered circulation, leaving the Royal Mint with approved designs and no monarch to issue them. A small number of pattern pieces were struck in 1937 using the intended shilling obverse design paired with the sixpence denomination — experimental pairings that document the mint's preparation for a reign that never materialized. The Giordano reference places this among a documented but thinly catalogued group of Edward VIII patterns, most of which passed through private hands after the abdication rather than entering any official record.
