Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of King Edward VIII, who was the King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Empire from January 20, 1936, until his abdication on December 11, 1936. He was the first British monarch to voluntarily relinquish the throne. The coin was issued in 2006 as part of a series commemorating the 75th anniversary of his abdication.
