Found information on the meda with the stamp below bust but not this one. Does anyone know if this is legit? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 07/31/2024 01:24 am There were a great number of commemorative medals issued by different entities to commemorate the Coronation. What do you mean by legit? If you're asking if this medal was issued by The Royal Mint the answer is no. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...a300477.html No AF on this one either. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 07/31/2024 01:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

Cdncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 999 Posts	Posted 07/31/2024 9:37 pm Nice medal. This is listed as #3764 in British Historical Medals 1760-1960. It states that the silver examples are hallmarked to Birmingham 1901 with the initials AF. The design was registered to Arthur Fenwick Ltd. It was made in bronze and silver.

The one on the right is obviously the regular British shield, England-Scotland-Ireland, but the one on the left is... unorthodox, definitely unofficial, and is presumably meant to stand for the colonies of the British Empire: you've got the beaver for Canada, the kangaroo for Australia, the Star of India for India, and a scales and sword which I can only assume is intended to represent British Africa (South Africa, East Africa, or maybe both). And I'm not sure what the lion-and-six-dots in the middle of that left shield is supposed to be representing; it's not Scotland. 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

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 08/06/2024 5:37 pm possibly Australia? on the left shield - isn't that a kangaroo on it? Collecting since 1972.

Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 08/06/2024 8:40 pm Yes, as I said - the shield on the left has five parts, and each part (presumably) represents a piece of the Empire: the kangaroo for Australia, the beaver for Canada, the star for India, and... I'm stumped on the other two. 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.
