Additional information

Edward VIII abdicated in December 1936 before any circulating coinage bearing his effigy entered production, which means no official crown was ever struck for his reign. The "Wreath" Crown design — intended as the 1937 crown — was prepared but never issued. Modern fantasy pieces like this one exploit that historical gap, presenting what might have been rather than what was. The 2017 date places it firmly in the collector novelty category, with no pretense of official status.
