Following the death of King George VI, it was up to his brother Edward VIII to take his place on the throne and become King of England. Once Edward VIII had taken the throne any newly minted coins and banknotes had the new King’s side profile emblazoned on them, as is tradition.

Ten pattern threepence pattern coins were created in 1936 with Edward VIII’s image on. Due to his longing to marry divorcee and American socialite Wallis Simpson, Edward VIII abdicated after just 11 months on the throne. The Church of England opposed remarriage at the time and the British people would not tolerate Wallis as queen.
