I found these in a "bargain" bin today. Obviously the one on the left saw far more circulation than the other. I picked them up because not too many coins throughout the whole of the commonwealth were struck bearing Edward VIII's name (and none with his effigy, aside from patterns and trial pieces), owing to the brevity of his reign.

Note that the one on the L was minted @ Royal Mint.

The one on the R was minted @ King's Norton Metal Co.
