Sorry but that is not true! There are plenty of fantasy crowns with KE8 but no real coin bears his image on the obverse. Trust me, I collect British royal portraits!
On Gibraltar and So.Africa coins even his name didn't make it.

Well, after all the hours I spent trying to figure this out I have 0. ZERO. That means that there are no correct answers to Question 7 and that is my final answer!  |

It is not that there is no answer, it is simply a bit more elusive than some of the other facts we have found. A tradition is not always documented as such. Some might call it a ritual instead. Traditions are also open to interpretation, so it may not be considered a tradition to you, but other will see t no other way.
I think we can all agree that one of them is the left facing king of 1936, even if svslav says it never happened. This is considered a fact in every Canadian coin book I own. If svslav disagrees, that means it will not be a part of my answer. And you can put my initial on that. Maybe I'll make a tradition of that, placing my initials on my work. Hmmm....

Was spent by you to make that rhyme.

Well from it's quality, you can see
I spent no time, at least seriously
if I had thought for a minute and a half
I'd come up with something to make us laugh

Well laugh we did, daughter and I
laughed so hard I began to cry.
So do it again and again and again,
sorry, I could not finish this. I'm having a dispute with the little one over pronunciation. Feel free to add your own last line.

Elizabeth II's head bearing a laurel wreath instead of a crown or a tiara
George VI faced left and broke the left right tradition
Edward VI was the 1st bald guy breaking the tradition of having hair on a coin

That should be Edward VII (the seventh) not VI
