Coincraft, the London dealer, produced this piece in 1987 as part of their fantasy series imagining coinage that never came to be — Edward VIII abdicated in December 1936 before a single circulating coin bearing his effigy entered production anywhere in the British Empire. Palestine was then under British Mandate, and a genuine Edward VIII Palestinian issue was indeed planned but never struck for circulation. The .375 fineness — nine-carat gold — is characteristic of Coincraft's fantasy output from this period rather than any official Mandate-era specification.
