@EdwinG I thought that was probably what you were thinking.
The head alternates direction for each new reign. (But they skipped #EdwardVIII, as he abdicated before coins with his head went into circulation.)

The 10th Edward VIII post box I've located in Glasgow. It's on Millroad Street, and is the first I've come across in the East End. There were 26 such post boxes installed in Glasgow during his brief 325 day reign (more than any other city in Britain), so there's potentially 16 more to find.

Another of Glasgow's Edward VIII pillar boxes. This one is on Crown Terrace in the West End. Twenty six such boxes were installed in the city during the 326 days Edward VIII was on the throne, which one source claims was more than anywhere else, but I'm not convinced this is actually correct. As far as I can track down, six of these 26 remain in place today.
Hoard's latest treasure,
spoon for a king that never was,
burdened with the crown.
(Edward VIII coronation spoon - his coronation in 1937 was cancelled due to his abdication)
