In the ten months that Edward VIII was King, no coins for this country were struck for circulation. But overseas coins without his portrait but with his name on the coins were struck. One of these places was British West Africa. The Penny which is the largest coin struck was made at the Royal Mint, Heaton Mint, and Kings Norton Mint. The penny on offer here was struck at the Heaton mint. All the coins we have in stock are in Uncirculated condition. It should make for a very fascinating to the Edward VIII collector.
