This medal was struck in 1936 in anticipation of King Edward VIII’s Coronation, which never happened. The King was due to be crowned on 12 May 1937, but abdicated on 10 December 1936. It shows King Edward VIII facing left which he thought was his more handsome side. The medal was designed by Ludwig Hujer at the Vienna Mint. Hujer was a medallist and a sculptor.
