Edward VII Coronation coin.......1911?!

[Emperor Oli 0]

Ive had this oddity knocking around for a while but never figured out what it was. Any help would be appreciated but I can't see why it says "Coronation Coin" on the obverse and the date as "1911" on the reverse. I'm fiddling with pics I'll put some up in a minute

I dunno. Could you tell us the metal, that might help! Maybe it is a medal of some kind. Does anybody here collect medals?

I'm asking the same question!

Geoff is here!

Almost certainly a medal - there were more for Edward VII than anyone - but very puzzling. The odd thing is that it says "Coronation coin" on it. Any chance of seeing the reverse? A coronation medal should somewhere give the date 26 June 1902 - although as all anoraks will tell you, the ceremony was postponed until 9 August. Only the official medals have the correct date. 1911 is the year of George V's coronation. A mule?

The other odd thing is that there's no "Omn" after Britt.

Looking forward to a reverse pic.

The reverse pic is the St George one above I believe.

It is indeed, Chris.

No specific date as such on it, only the year - 1911
