As we've recently seen with the Royal wedding, any notable State or public occasion throws up rakes of memorabilia; some of it even authorised.
For the Queen's Jubilee a whole slew of unofficial crown size medallions appeared, the greater proportion in base metal, many of which used this portrait or one strikingly similar. What most of them have in common is their anonymity. They've appeared sporadically on CCF forums but their origin, in the most part is shrouded in mystery/indifference.
And yes, like many others here, I've got one. Not like yours however. Gold plating does raise the bar slightly, and I'd really love to see this topic go the distance this time.
