My first Bronze purchase

Edward VIII, blimey, that's about as rare as they come for modern coins 😍

Wow. 

 The Edward VIII Portrait was extremely well executed and it helped, him being a handsome character.

Unfortunately, I don’t hold too much hope that the Charles’ portrait will be as impressive...you can’t make a silk purse out of a Sow’s ear...

My knowledge of bronze coins is zero, came across this for sale in Hong Kong on Ebay and thought it looked fairly good for it's age.

There won't be many people with much knowledge of this type of "coin". No circulating coinage issued for E viii and just various patterns struck. I assume this will be one for a proposed crown.

What does FC17 stand for?  It does not look like a standard sort of grade.

I believe FC17 is a numismatic terminology/designation for "Fantasy Coin".

Ah  Thank you

Almost the same thing, but just not quite the same, as an NC-17 rating for a movie.😁
