East Africa King Edward VIII Crown Hearn Patterns 1936 PR67 PCGS Ag medal 1984

The British East Africa King Edward VIII Crown Pattern dated 1936 is a remarkable fantasy issue inspired by the coinage that might have circulated during the short and dramatic reign of Edward VIII. Struck in silver and produced as part of the well-known Hearn pattern series, this medal recreates the style of colonial crown coinage for the British territories in East Africa. The piece is beautifully preserved in Proof Deep Cameo condition, graded PCGS PR67DCAM, emphasizing its strong contrast between mirrored fields and frosted design elements.

The obverse displays a refined left-facing portrait of King Edward VIII, portrayed with neatly combed hair and formal attire. The bust is surrounded by a circular legend identifying the monarch as King and Emperor, with evenly spaced lettering along a beaded border that frames the design and enhances the sharp cameo effect.

The reverse features a striking lion standing proudly on a horizontal bar, symbolizing British imperial authority and strength in East Africa. Around the central motif runs the inscription BRITISH EAST AFRICA, while the date 1936 appears below the lion. Decorative scroll flourishes beneath the bar and a dotted rim complete the composition, giving the piece a strong heraldic and colonial character.

Struck in silver as a Hearn fantasy pattern in 1984 and certified PCGS PR67DCAM, this medal is an appealing collectible for enthusiasts of British Empire numismatics, Edward VIII memorabilia, and rare pattern coinage.
