1936年英国爱德华八世退位金章。 发行量：100枚。正面：爱德华八世，戴王冠著王袍右侧像，身穿吊袜带。反面：六行文字书有 ASCENDED / THE THRONE / JAN 20TH 1936 / ABDICATED / DEC 10TH / 1936 ，花环环绕。 非常罕见 ，此枚更似纪念退位而非加冕；1936年爱德华八世向华莉丝-辛普森求婚，引发非议，被迫退位。此枚意义非凡，因爱德华八世从未获加冕，是收藏英国皇家纪念章不可或缺的一枚。 GREAT BRITAIN. Abdication of Edward VIII Gold Medal, 1936. NGC MS-66. BHM-4277; Eimer-Unlisted. By L. E. Pinches. Mintage: 100. Obverse: KING EDWARD VIII, crowned and robed bust right, wearing Chain of the Garter; Reverse: ASCENDED / THE THRONE / JAN 20TH 1936 / ABDICATED / DEC 10TH / 1936 in six lines; all within wreath. A VERY RARE medal, this entrancing Gem celebrates an abdication rather than a coronation, as Edward VIII was forced off the throne when his proposed marriage to Wallace Simpson caused scandal in 1930s Britain. Given the nature of the medal, this piece serves as a wonderful addition to any collection of coronation medals, as it provides an example of a monarch who never was coronated.
