1936 Three British Kings Copper Medal Set

The Year Of The Three Kings

King George V passed away on 20 January 1936, leaving the crown to his son, who immediately succeeded his father as King Edward VIII. Before his coronation, Edward abdicated the throne, caught between his birthright and his love for a controversial American divorcee. Edwards's decision was formally announced on 11 December, meaning that his younger brother reluctantly became King, reigning as George VI.

Three Commemorative Medals

This commemorative medal set features three copper medals:

• 1935 George V Silver Jubilee Medal
• 1936 Edward VIII Abdication Medal
• 1937 George VI Coronation Medal
