Lot 4116
Great Britain. Edward VIII plaque to commemorate the (cancelled) Coronation of 1937. 45 x 64 mm. Struck in a metal unlisted by Giordano in his work 'Portraits of a Prince' (as CM286a but bronze) this Coronation 'Plaquette' was never produced in significant numbers because the king resigned at the end of 1936. He abdicated so that he could be with the woman he loved - Mrs Simpson - and the rest, as they say, is history. Uncirculated.
Estimated Value $200 - 250.
