Echoing this, Showpiece experts add: "The 1937 Edward VIII One Penny, like many of the world's most significant and valuable coins, is a pattern.

對此，Showpiece 專家補充說：「1937 年愛德華八世的一便士硬幣，就像世界上許多最重要、最有價值的硬幣一樣，是一種圖案。

"Patterns are generally used to evaluate a coin's design before mass production of the regular issue, which in this particular case, following Edward VIII's sudden abdication, never happened."

“圖案通常用於在常規發行的硬幣批量生產之前評估硬幣的設計，但在愛德華八世突然退位後的特殊情況下，這種情況從未發生過。”

King Edward gave up the throne in 1936 after just an 11-month reign, making him one of the shortest-reigning monarchs in UK history.

愛德華國王在位僅 11 個月後於 1936 年放棄王位，使他成為英國歷史上在位時間最短的君主之一。

He then became the Duke of Windsor, and his brother, Queen Elizabeth II's father, King George VI, ascended to the throne.

隨後他成為溫莎公爵，他的兄弟、伊莉莎白二世女王的父親喬治六世國王登上王位。

The abrupt abdication not only caused a 'headache' for the Mint, but also boosted the value of King Edward coins, despite them being less than a century old.

突然的退位不僅讓造幣廠感到“頭痛”，而且還提高了愛德華國王硬幣的價值，儘管它們的歷史還不到一個世紀。

"This is the 1937 penny and was minted in celebration of the reign of King Edward VIII," he explained.

「這是 1937 年的便士，是為了慶祝愛德華八世國王的統治而鑄造的，」他解釋道。

"However, the plans were abandoned in December 1936 following the abdication of the Royal to marry American divorcee Wallace Simpson...

「然而，1936 年 12 月，皇室退位並與美國離婚者華萊士·辛普森 (Wallace Simpson) 結婚後，該計劃被放棄了…

"This coin was one of around 50 that were produced to evaluate the design.

「這枚硬幣是為評估設計而生產的大約 50 枚硬幣之一。

"Now what you need to do is search your old pre-decimal pennies for any from the year 1937, when you find a 1937 this doesn't mean you found the 'super rare' version.

「現在你需要做的是在你的十進制之前的舊便士中搜尋 1937 年的硬幣，當你找到 1937 年的硬幣時，這並不意味著你找到了『超級稀有』的版本。

"What you need to do is check the obverse side of the coin also known as the head side. If your coin has King Edward VIII, then yes you have found an ultra-rare version."

「你需要做的是檢查硬幣的正面，也稱為正面。如果你的硬幣上有愛德華八世國王，那麼你就找到了一個極其罕見的版本。”
