| Additional information |
Edward VIII abdicated in December 1936 before any circulating coinage bearing his effigy reached production, leaving an almost complete void in the British numismatic record for his reign. The "Wreath" Crown was among the designs prepared but never issued. This 2017 copper piece is a modern fantasy restrike — not a period trial — produced to satisfy collector demand for an object that history refused to create.
