1937 EDWARD VIII BRONZED TRIAL PROOF PATTERN DOUBLE FLORIN

Add a truly fascinating piece of British numismatic history to your collection. Because King Edward VIII abdicated the throne in December 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson, no official coins bearing his portrait were ever released into general circulation. This stunning piece is a beautifully struck unofficial pattern/fantasy double florin, perfectly filling a historical gap for 20th-century collectors.
