Was Humphrey Paget's Golden Hind design part of a larger series?

[<k>]

In 1936, King Edward VIII acceded to the throne in the UK.

He set in motion a quest for a more modern set of coin designs.

However, he abdicated before any coins were issued for his reign.


King George VI later affirmed some of Edward's choices.

The Golden Hind appeared on the half penny reverse from 1937 onward.


I recently read the 1973 booklet, 'The proposed coinage of King Edward VIII'.

In it, the author Graham Dyer of the Royal Mint Museum wrote:

'A set of reverses prepared by Paget had included a design based on the Golden Hind'.

This is the only reference the booklet includes to a SET of reverses.


Has anybody else heard that Paget produced a whole set of designs for Edward VIII? /center]

I have that booklet. I read the word set as to mean a number of designs with small differences in order to show possibilities for change, not a set of coins.

I see - a set of variations.

There are lots of patterns on Royal Mint Museum website though I'm not sure if it has any more than the book.

Thanks to the Royal Mint Museum, another unadopted design by Humphrey Paget has been found.
