Edward VIII gold Proof Coronation Medal 1937 PR63 Ultra Cameo NGC, Giordano-CM260c, BHM-4302. 37mm. 20.77gm. By W. McMillan for Spink. An always contested type owing to the notorious story of the King abdicating prior to his coronation to marry the American divorcee who didn't love him, with echoes reverberating throughout the British Royal Family even today. Tough to locate, particularly when bestowed with the Ultra Cameo superlative as seen here, with the lavishly frosted devices contrasting the only lightly wispy, pooling fields.
