Which rulers of England did not have coins issued during their reign ?

Hi all - I am a relatively new to collecting coins and am trying to source a coin representing every ruler of England going back to Aethelred The Unready - I still have a few to go and appreciate that Edward VIII and Lady Jane Grey didn't have any coins minted during their reigns but does this apply to any other monarchs during this period eg Edmund Ironside, Edward V etc ? Thank you, Simon

I have this excellent little poster that gives answers to questions like this. Probably still available online somewhere.

This indicates only Edmund Ironside and Lady Jane Grey as the "No coins" examples. I had an earlier version of the chart years ago, which also showed Sweyn Forkbeard as impossible, but it seems that has changed.

Edward VIII is possible if you go outside the UK. British West Africa and a few of the other Commonwealth Countries issued his coins in good numbers, though without his head, only his name.

Hi Paddy - thank you so much that is fantastic. I have found a version of it online and have ordered it already, thanks again for being so helpful.

I did find this Edward VIII from Rhodesia with his head on it, Simon

That will fill the gap for you nicely, but do bear in mind it is a modern "fantasy" restrike as no Crowns were minted at the time.

Thanks again Paddy - I didn’t realise that …. it was one of the very few low value coins I had purchased on eBay - I will look for a genuine issue to replace it.

Edward VIII didn't have any coins OFFICIALLY issued, but the new brass 3d was issued to traders for them to try them out in slot machines. They were supposed to be returned but a few weerent so these are extremely rare and valuable. Also, there are rare proofs of many (all?) denominations, so it could be argued you can exclude him from the list.

As for Lady Jane Grey, she is not included in many lists of official English monarchs - Edward VI had tried to disavow Mary and Elizabeth and nominated Jane as the nearest Protestant candidate. Even if you do allow her, 9 days was hardly enough time to prepare and issue coins!.
