Someone on e-bay supposedly had one. Cannot find any evidence that such a coin exists.

very improbable.

Edward VIII was King for 11 months after George V died in 1936. He abdicated in December 1936, and George VI became king. So George V was 2 monarchs (Edward VIII and George VI) in the past once the 1937 coins started being minted.

Possibly just an image mix-up? That looks like a British India 2 annas obverse - a South African threepence has the legend GEORGIVS V REX IMPERATOR.

South Africa George V coins were last minted in 1936. Also the coin obverse never had the word King on it, they have GEORGIVS V REX IMPERATOR on the obverse.

A pattern for $7.

It is definitely worth the risk.

OK guys I wasn't posting the auction thinking it was real, I realise it isn't!
But thought it might have been what otto had heard about?

Also as you can see the 3D coins have a plain edge unlike the BI 2 Annas reeded edge...Paul

Palouche, that is the auction. The seller relisted the coin. I was admittedly being coy in case it turned out to be something special.
