Gold Coast King Edward VIII Crown Hearn Patterns 1936 PR66 PCGS medal 1984

This impressive 1984 Gold Coast King Edward VIII Crown Hearn Pattern medal recreates one of the most fascinating fantasy pattern issues connected to the brief reign of Edward VIII. Certified by PCGS as PR66 DCAM (Deep Cameo Proof), the medal combines sharp frosted relief with highly reflective mirror-like fields, creating exceptional visual contrast and outstanding collector appeal. Edward VIII remains one of the most intriguing figures in British royal history, ruling for only a short time in 1936 before his historic abdication changed the future of the monarchy forever.

The obverse features a detailed left-facing portrait of King Edward VIII surrounded by the inscription “EDWARD VIII KING EMPEROR” with a decorative denticle border framing the elegant royal design. Fine engraving highlights the king’s hair, facial profile, collar, and smooth proof surfaces. The reverse presents the elaborate Gold Coast coat of arms with a richly decorated heraldic shield displaying a sailing ship, eagle motif, architectural symbols, and ornamental flourishes. Two standing supporters flank the shield — one holding a staff and the other grasping a serpent — while a crowned elephant crest rises above the composition. The inscription “GOLD COAST” arches around the design with the date “1936” below.

Struck in silver as a fantasy Hearn Pattern issue, this medal is highly collectible among enthusiasts of British Empire history, rare patterns, colonial coinage, and royal memorabilia. The prestigious PCGS PR66DCAM certification guarantees premium proof quality with strong cameo contrast and remarkable preservation. An excellent addition to advanced world coin and medal collections.
