I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the article is wrong about the Edward VIII coins. Did he not insist on breaking convention and facing left like George V? But then he abdicated before any were minted and George VI had his go right?

Edit: actually looks like all three went left. https://www.royal.uk/coinage-and-bank-notes#:~:text=Designs%20for%20proposed%20coins%20for,Edward%20VIII's%20had%20faced%20right%20.

Was about to post the same thing, Edward preferred his hair as seen from the left.

Not sure why OP would choose to use the Birmingham Mail as a source for this!
