Like the reverse obverse not very flattering though , but probably a reasonable likeness

Weirdly enough this reverse design was reused for an Edward VIII coronation medal...

There was a 1901 Death of Victoria, Acession of Edward medal that used that reverse, but I'd be very interested in seeing a coronation medal with that format.

On the same theme, can anyone tell me more about this medallion? Measures about 29mm diameter and appears to be silver. I can find a similar obverse on several online examples, but these have a reverse with "Valparaiso" in the wording.

Here you go ! 

This medal exists in brassed bronze (as shown) as well as in bronze, gilt bronze, white metal and silver. I have all except the silver striking which is very rare. Not sure if this actually dates to ~1936 or whether it is a later fantasy, but it rarely turns up in pristine condition which to me suggests an earlier manufacture if not contemporary.

OHG he looks about 35 surely very flattering
