Basically I found this in my kitchen when we were doing an extension

The Images of it are here due to my *great lighting and camera I have presented an excellent image*

I tried comparing it to a 2p and 1 p coin for colour etc

The medal/ coin is about 4.2 cm in diameter

On the face where its had the queens head it says
HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II : 1953

The Other side it says :
CORONATION OF ELIZABETH II JUNE 1953

This image looks like a soldier with the brush thingy on his helmet holding a devil fork and sitting down
around it is some leaves or something

images:
the queens head side

If you can give some information about where it's from etc and is it worth anything

That would be Britannia, as also seen on the old 50p coin and on the predecimal penny.

There were no "official" coronation medals in Britain, but there were plenty of unofficial medals. This would be one of those.
