britain's coins of Edward VIII

[Mister T]

For anyone who's interested, the Royal Mint Museum put some quite decent images of the Edward VIII part of their collection online recently: http://collection.royalmintmuseum.org.uk/index.asp?page=resultc&mwsQueryTemplate=[{control=countryList}{index=country}{relation=*=*}][{control=rulerList}{index=ruler}{relation=*=*}][{control=denominationList}{index=denomination}{relation=*=*}][{control=dateList}{index=date}{relation=*=*}]&countryList=United%20Kingdom&rulerList=Edward%20VIII&denominationList=&dateList=&filename=RMM_Edward_VIII&hitsStart=1

Should have said it is part of your religion to wear it (like a burqa) and then the PC crowd would support your right to wear it anywhere.

Back on topic. Had a peek at the shilling and florin. For some reason they only show the reverse for the shilling:@
 I really want to see if the obverse rim denticles are a match for the rim denticles on the Australian 1937 shilling (the effigy etc was tooled off to remove Eddie but the denticles remain).

Some of the shilling have obverse pictures (sorry if the URLs break):
