It appears to be a 1902 Edward VII Coronation medallion, but all my Google searches have so far not found any trace of this version. It lacks a country of origin anywhere on it, but it may be from India as it was my late father-in-law's, who was from there. The outer rim is smooth and there is no indication of any mount having been fixed to it. Appreciate any assistance in identifying this medallion. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 04/05/2021 9:05 pm A final piece of trivia on this piece: it is one of numerous "wrong date" accession medals for Edward VII. He was due to be crowned in June 1902, as this medal attests. However, two days before the ceremony, he came down with appendicitis. Back then, this was usually fatal, but they decided to go ahead with some then-experimental surgery to try to save his life. The surgery was successful and the king recovered quickly, but not quickly enough to carry on with the planned ceremony. His coronation was rescheduled to 9th August. Too late for the manufacturer of this medal, though. There are some coronation commemoratives that come in both "wrong date" and "correct date" versions. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
