| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed effigy of King Edward VIII facing left, with naturalistically rendered hair and draped truncation, occupying the central field. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the circumferential legend reading EDWARD · VIII · KING · & · EMPEROR in raised Latin capitals. The portrait style is reminiscent of unissued 1936 pattern coinage designs. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Not a circulating coin and not an official Royal Mint issue — this is a fantasy or pattern piece produced after Edward VIII's abdication in December 1936, bearing his name despite his reign never yielding an approved coinage for general circulation. The British public never handled an Edward VIII coin in the ordinary sense; his eleven-month reign ended before the new coinage series could be released, and all approved designs were suppressed.
The X# prefix in the Krause reference system confirms unofficial status. Struck decades after the abdication, pieces like this occupy an awkward category — neither forgery nor official commemorative.
