1937 3 Proof Crown Set of Edward VIII
from Southern Rhodesia

Edward VIII became the King of England in January 1936 upon the death of his father George V. A couple British Commonwealth countries managed to get a couple of legal tender coins out before Edward abdicated the throne to marry American Wallis Simpson.

There several medalic issues and test pieces issues, I'm not sure where these fall.

For your consideration is a set of three Crown sized coins bearing the effigy of Edward VIII. Issued in three metals, Sterling Silver, Bronze and Copper.

All three are in Proof condition and have been housed in a Capital Plastic holder bearing the inscription SOUTHERN RHODESIA EDWARD VIII 1937 MEDAL/CROWNS. The copper medal says Gold Plate Copper beneath. The crowns are housed in Cointain Holders within the Capital Plastic.
