Emperor Oli Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 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 Quote
william Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 I dunno. Could you tell us the metal, that might help! Maybe it is a medal of some kind. Does anybody here collect medals? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted March 13, 2004 Author Posted March 13, 2004 Geoff will know, where are you Geoff?I'm asking the same question! Quote
Geoff T Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 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.G Quote
Chris Perkins Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 The reverse pic is the St George one above I believe. Quote
