Year of Three Kings
So I'm sure most here are well aware that in January 1936 George V died and Edward the VIII became king. In the end he chose his divorcee for his wife and abdicated in December of 1936. Thus George VI, who would see the UK and Commonwealth through the War and not capitulate to Germany, became king instead.
I noticed at the Royal Mint website that they have a 3 penny set of them. Edward VIII was not king long enough for the mint to get coins out with his portrait on them but some of the Crown colonies and dependencies used pennies with holes so no portrait was needed.
They wanted £40.00 (!) for them though and I decided to get my own set together for less than $10.
No fancy display folder but I like my 1936, 1936 & 1937 penny set none the less.
