| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Edward VIII facing left, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the hair and collar. The portrait is modelled in a contemporary style, uncrowned and without regalia. The circular legend reading EDWARD・VIII・KING・E・EMPEROR runs along the upper and right periphery, separated by raised dots. The flat field frames the bust cleanly, consistent with the medallic tradition employed for this fantasy issue. |

| Reverse description | A full-rigged sailing vessel with multiple masts and billowing sails is depicted underway upon stylised waves, occupying the central field within a beaded inner border. An anchor motif with decorative rope scrollwork appears in the lower exergual area beneath the ship. The legend NEWFOUNDLAND arcs across the upper periphery, also within the beaded border, while the date 1936 is divided and placed to either side of the ship in the lower field. The overall composition evokes Newfoundland's maritime heritage. |
