Comments

Dom Windsorów (od 1917 r. do dziś), Edward VIII (1936 r.), 22-karatowe złoto, próba 5 funtów.

W Wielkiej Brytanii nie wyemitowano monet Edwarda VIII z jego imieniem i portretem. Mennica Królewska rozpoczęła prace nad nową monetą przed abdykacją króla i wykonano różne wzory. Wybito tylko niewielką liczbę zestawów, choć żaden nie został wystawiony na sprzedaż i tylko jeden kompletny zestaw jest znany w rękach prywatnych.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

House of Windsor (1917 to date), Edward VIII (1936), 22 carat gold proof 5 pounds pattern piece.

No coins of Edward VIII were issued for currency within the United Kingdom bearing his name and portrait. The Royal Mint had commenced work on a new coinage prior to the king's abdication and various patterns were made. Only a small number of sets were struck although none were issued for sale and only one complete set is known in private hands.
