- The analogy with philately is historic which limits investigations to the last 200 years.
- Contrary to what one might think, such currencies never circulated in the United Kingdom. They have been issued by a few colonies outside the United Kingdom.
There were two times in the 20th century when UK and its dominions had an issue with coins. One is the abdication of Edward VIII 1936 and the second was the independence of India in 1948 and they had to remove Et Ind Imp. So 1936 would have had three Kings George V, Edward VIII and George VI . There is only one Edward VIII coin from UK. There are a few others around the dominion three from East Africa but they never had the Kings bust on them anyhow. Another from Fiji without the bust again. George VI coins did not come out until 1937. The UK Edward VIII coin is pretty pricey, did you win an auction for one?
There was this, a Fijian penny, a East African 5 and 10 cents, West African 5 and 10 cents and also an Indian Pricely state had a coin with Edward's name and Cypher.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
