Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1936 Edward VIII ½ Penny coin from British West Africa is that it was minted during a brief period when Edward VIII was the King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Empire, before he abdicated the throne to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. This coin is a rare and unique piece of history, as it was minted during a short-lived reign that lasted only 11 months.
