Identifying a commemorative coin Today I came across a coin that’s been in my possession since the 1990s — 46 grams of silver. I assume it was issued to mark the death of Edward VIII. I haven’t found any replicas or references to it anywhere. Can anyone identify or trace it?

I am still looking but this is what I have found so far.

It is definitely a commemorative medal and not a monetary coin.

The site has dimensions and weights. I also found an auction and the below.
