ENCAPSULATED CROWN: Edward VIII 1936 (Jeffrey Hearn Issue)

Geoffrey Hearn, a keen coin collector, decided he would have some additional "coin types" created celebrating King Edward VIII for the colonies (that didn't actually have circulating coins produced in his name or in this case crowned sized pieces, because he abdicated before they could be struck). In 1977, the Franklin Mint returned the original punches to Geoffrey Hearn and, in 1984, Richard Lobel, of CoinCraft of London, bought the dies and had more pieces struck in Europe. Fantasy proof-like coins were minted in both Silver (.250) and Cu-Ni (2500) representing the 24 British Commonwealth countries:- Great Britain, Australia, British North Borneo, British East Africa, Bermuda, Burma, Canada, Ceylon, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Gold Coast, Hong Kong, India, Isle Of Man, Falkland Islands, Mauritius, Newfoundland, New Guinea, New Zealand, Palestine, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Southern Rhodesia and Straits Settlements at that re-strike.
