Edward VIII One of Few
Kings Not on the Coins

As is customary for new rulers.
Edward VIII contemplated new de.
signs for the coins of England and
her colonies.
It was planned to have the new
coins ready at the time of his cor
onation, but his sudden abdication
made these and other plans quite
futile. Edward VIII is one of the
few kings Of England who is not
portrayed on its coins. writes Stuart
Mosher in Avocations. ~
It was thought for time that no
coins would bear even his name,- but
four Of the colonies issued such
COINS. quite disregarding the hap
penings in England.
The first was the penny of New
Guinea. It is an odd-looking piece.
strongly influenced by conventional
native art. The diverse shows two
birds, a crown and the initials E.
r. l.. meaning Edward Rex I'm
perator. The reverse shows a ma
tive Papuan god in a squatting po-
sition.
West Africa soon followed with
three denominations in nickel.
These pieces are very similar in
design to the previous issue Of
George v.
Another one. and probably the
last, is the nickel one penny Of Fiji.
1t is the simplest in all designs and.
like all the others, 1t is center-holed
50 that it may be carried on q string
by the pocketless natives.
None Of these coins are outstand-
ing examples Of art nor Of impor-
tant denominations. But to collec-
tors they will remain as imperish.
able relics Of q great romance a.
well as q tragedy.
In centuries to come they will tell
the story as simply and clearly a.
coins issued 1000 years ago reveal
to us the outstanding happenings Of
the ancient world.
