Comment
Because Edward VIII abdicated the throne before a coinage portrait could be made for him, the only coins that were made during his short reign were those featuring his name but no portrait. This is one of them.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1936 Edward VIII Penny from Fiji is that it features a unique design that was only used for a short period of time. The coin was minted in 1936, but Edward VIII abdicated the throne later that same year, making the coin a rare and collectible item.
