George V 1911 Silver Coronation Medal 31mm Very Fine
In 1910, King Edward VII died after a rather short reign and in 1911 his son was crowned as King George V. The Royal Mint issued an official small sized (31mm) medallion in sterling silver to celebrate the Coronation. The obverse carries the portrait of George V with the legend GEORGE V CROWNED JUNE 22 1911 and the reverse has the portrait of Queen Mary. The mintage was a little over 25,000 and these are rather hard to fi d in nice grade these days.
