From my collection!
I have a Commemorative Souvenir, commemorating the Coronation of Prince Albert to King Edward VIII, on May 12th, 1937. A reign that he abdicated in favour of his brother Prince George, who later became KGVI, father to Queen Elizabeth.
This souvenir is a doily with a printed coronation label mentioning the countries under his reign: N Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Canada and India.
This Doily is placed on a mat bearing the Royal Colours, enclosed in a lacquer plate!
Perhaps his reign did not last long enough to be proclaimed King Emperor!
