Bermuda King Edward VIII Crown Hearn Patterns 1936 PR64 PCGS silver medal 1955

The Bermuda Edward VIII Crown Hearn Pattern Medal, dated 1936 but struck in 1955, is a rare and historically meaningful numismatic piece. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of King Edward VIII with the surrounding legend EDWARD VIII KING & EMPEROR. This portrait commemorates the monarch whose reign lasted less than a year before his abdication in December 1936, making any coinage bearing his likeness exceptionally scarce. The reverse presents a detailed depiction of a three-masted sailing ship cutting through the waves, symbolizing Bermuda’s deep connection to the sea and its maritime legacy. Above the vessel is the inscription BERMUDA, with the date 1936 positioned below. Struck in silver with proof quality, this medal belongs to the fantasy issues produced by Hearn in the mid-20th century, designed to honor the “lost coinage” of Edward VIII that never officially circulated. Certified by PCGS PR64CAM, it exhibits sharp strike, frosted reliefs, and mirrored fields. This piece is a remarkable blend of royal history, Bermuda heritage, and numismatic artistry, highly sought after by advanced collectors.
