| Additional information |
Edward VIII abdicated in December 1936 before any coins bearing his effigy entered general circulation in Britain. This piece is a pattern or fantasy issue produced by Richard Lobel through the Tower Mint — not an official Royal Mint product — filling the historical gap left by an reign that produced no circulating coinage. Lobel issued several such pieces from the 1970s onward, and they occupy an uncomfortable but well-documented niche: neither official nor purely speculative, catalogued under Krause's X# sequence reserved for unofficial and fantasy issues.
