| 表面の説明 | Uncrowned effigy of King Edward VIII facing right, rendered in high relief in the style of Percy Metcalfe's proposed portrait design. The king is depicted bare-headed with a plain truncation, in a restrained, modernist style characteristic of 1930s British coinage proposals. The legend encircling the portrait reads EDWARDVS VIII D: G: BR: OMN: REX F: D: MCMXXXVI P.M. in Latin script, with the date expressed in Roman numerals. The field surrounding the effigy is deeply struck and mirror-like, consistent with proof finishing. |

Edward VIII abdicated in December 1936 before any circulating coinage bearing his effigy reached the public, making every "Edward VIII" coin a post-hoc creation. The original 1937 Wreath Crown was itself a pattern — designed by Percy Metcalfe and never issued for circulation — so this 2017 brass trial is a fantasy restrike of a coin that was already a non-circulating prototype. Two layers of hypothetical removed from actual currency.
Collectors should be clear-eyed: pieces like this are modern numismatic merchandise, not artifacts of the abdication crisis itself.
