| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Edward VIII facing right, modelled in high relief after the proposed portrait by Percy Metcalfe. The king is depicted without a crown, consistent with his personal preference for an uncrowned portrait on coinage. The circumferential legend, separated by stop marks, encircles the bust within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | At centre, a large St. Edward's Crown rendered in fine detail, surmounted by the date 1936 in large numerals flanking the crown above. The crown is encircled by a decorative wreath composed of the floral emblems of the United Kingdom — Tudor roses, Scottish thistles, and shamrocks — arranged symmetrically around the field. The peripheral legend, separated by raised star stops, reads in abbreviated Latin across the upper and lower arcs, with the royal identification .EDW. VIII. at the base, all within a beaded border. |
