Preference Shares?

Just a quick question, if a preference share has a nominal value of £1 and is 8%, would you get two divends per year of 8p each (such as interim and final) or just one of 8p at the end of the year? Thanks

    8% would be the annual coupon, so you'd get a total of 8p per year.

    Depending on the terms of the share, you might get two lots of 4p.

    Though thinking of the ones I've known, normally 8p once a year.
