The Wreath Crown was first issued in 1927 under King George V and last issued in 1936, the year of Three Kings. International Numismatic Agency decided to retro-issue a 1936 wreath crown under the new Monarch King Edward VIII. Of course, Edward was king but never had a Coronation. These are beautiful examples using the finest engravers and struck to top quality. They are in Proof condition struck in 8 different metals and only 100 pieces in each metal were ever struck. These are Rare and important, especially if you collect Wreath Crowns. Remember only 100 were struck in each metal.
We thought it was time to offer the medallic pattern crownsized pieces of King Edward VIII from the Falklands. This is one of the more difficult issues to get and supplies are very limited. You have Edward VIII on one side and a penguin on the other side, they are crownsized and struck in Cupronickel.
Last year was the 80th anniversary of the Year of Three Kings, George V, Edward VIII and George VI. ICB issued a beautiful Edward VIII collection, full crownsized in eight different metals with a milled edge. We bought the entire mintage, except for one set that is being put into auction. Other Edward VIII issues are being sold on eBay for over £245 a collection. The metals they are struck in are: Sterling Silver, Golden Alloy, Copper, Gold Plated Copper, Aluminium, Polished Steel, Pewter and Nickel Silver. A youthful portrait of the uncrowned King is on one side and a new version of St. George slaying the dragon is on the other side. Only 100 collections made with the milled edge, that is all, forever.
