Comment
Due to Edward VIII's short reign, no coins with his effigy were minted across the British empire but rather those which only featured his ruling title.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1936 Edward VIII Penny from New Guinea (Papua New Guinea) is that it was minted in a very small quantity, with only 30,000 coins produced. This scarcity makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
