King Edward VIII's tale of abdication is one of the most famous love stories ever told: the young king that gave up his throne for the love of an American divorcee. It's long been a collector favourite, with memorabilia from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor always seeing top results.

The king's departure meant that the coins produced for his reign never made it into circulation, and therefore are incredibly rare.

The sovereign caused controversy when created as Edward refused to face the opposite direction to his predecessor, a tradition that had been established when Charles II regained the throne and wished to face the opposite direction to Oliver Cromwell.
