Dearborn Moderator United States 98548 Posts	Posted 02/26/2024 6:37 pm Not many coins in England were minted for King Edward VIII (none in fact) So I had to go look elsewhere to get a coin minted for him - From a British Colony of East Africa. (I was trying the find the West Africa Mule coin but no luck so far.) So here is a 1936 a east Africa Edward VIII shilling (10 cents) with an 'H' mint mark. from the Heaton and Sons / The Mint Birmingham https://en.numista.com/catalogue/mint.php?id=18 which would make this coin a Bronze coin vs a Copper-nickel one of the same value. The Bronze coin should weigh 10.9 grams and measure at 30.9 mm the Copper-nickel one weighs in at 11.5 grams and measures in at 31 mm This coin weighs in at 11.56 grams (close to the Copper-nickel one) and measures 30.9 mm (like the Bronze one) The appearance is bronze even though it weighs more than the Copper-nickel coin. But seeing how this coin has the 'H' mint mark on it tells me it is from the Heaton and Sons / The Mint Birmingham mint and not the Kings Norton Metal Company, Birmingham, United Kingdom mint which would have a 'KN' mm on it. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
