This is a fantasy piece for Edward VIII (Not 7th)

No coinage was ever made with his effigy on as he abdicated before they made it that far. There are some coins with his name on however. From East Africa and British West Africa.

"No coinage was ever made with his effigy on as he abdicated before they made it that far"

largely, yes, though of course there are the three pence pieces that were struck, a few of which escaped! Here is the link to a picture of one that was sold at auction

There are also some Indian Princley states that name him as Emperor - for example the Kutch 5 kori (almost crown sized silver coin)

I gave a list of all known genuine coinage in the name of Edward VIII in this old thread. As mentioned above, apart from the trial British threepences, none of them have the king's portrait on them.

There is a tradition on British coinage that a new monarch is supposed to face in the opposite direction to their predecessor; Edward's father George V faced left, so Edward VIII was "supposed to" face right. The story goes that the king was displeased with this tradition, because it would've meant nobody would see the part in his hair.

"Coins" like this one fill a perceived demand from collectors, who would like to have a "coin" with a portrait of each British monarch. As "coin-like objects", they're listed in the "Unusual World Coins" catalogue.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
