1936 Sovereign Edward VIII 22-Carat Gold Replica Coin

No King Edward VIII gold Sovereigns were issued for circulation in 1936, but these fantasy coins can help fill the gap in your collection.

Edward VII became King in January 1936 and abdicated in December of the same year. Designs for his coinage were prepared but were never widely issued, making Edward VII coins, including Sovereigns, some of the rarest and most sought-after pieces in the British series.

• These are proof-like replica coins, struck in 8 grams of 22-carat gold, similar to a real Sovereign
• The obverse shows a bust inspired by Humphrey Paget's planned design for Edward VII's coinage
• Paired with an interpretation of Benedetto Pistrucci's Saint George and the dragon design
