No gold sovereigns were issued during the reign of Edward VIII.
A limited number of pattern sovereigns and other British coins were produced, but never issued.

We have never seen any, let alone had any Edward VIII British coins in stock. Only a very few have ever come onto the market, and you could expect to pay tens of thousands of pounds for any which did.

Other Edward VIII Coins
There were, of course, coins issued bearing Edward's name, but not portrait for British West Africa and East Africa, all dated 1936. These are quite common, but they are all low denomination base metal coins, so of little relevance for collectors searching for gold coins.

Unofficial Patterns
A number of unofficial pattern coins have been produced for Edward VIII, mainly as fantasy coins, and presumably because of the shortage of, and demand for, the real thing. We have a page about these on our original site 24carat.co.uk.

Beware Fraudsters
Many people, often part-time or full-time dealers masquerading as collectors offer unofficial patterns similar to these for sale, particularly on eBay. In many if not most cases, they fail to state clearly that these are not officially issued patterns, and have no legal tender status. We believe this practice is fraudulent, and strongly recommend you avoid doing business with dishonest vendors. If you knowingly buy from them, you are condoning and encouraging their deceptive and dishonest practices.

Price Guide
A genuine authentic Edward VIII gold sovereign lists at £150,000 in Spink's 2007 Catalogue. The imitation fantasy "patterns" contain about £60 worth of gold. If you want one for your collection you should not pay much more than this. Some buyers with more money than sense have been known to pay up to £300 for one!
