Yep, one of the few circulating coins issued in the name of "the uncrowned king", Edward VIII. See the upside-down V at top-left of the inscriptions in the bottom pic? That's the Perso-Arabic numeral "8". The only coins issued in his name were those which did not require a portrait, as he had been in disagreement with the Royal Mint on how his coin portrait should appear.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
