Crowned jugate busts of Edward and Alexandra right / Seated Britannia gazing towards Westminster Abbey, crown in splendour above. Brown 3772; Eimer 1870a. EF, matte finish, slightly rubbed.

The original coronation date of 26 June had to be postponed when Edward was stricken by appendicitis. Some of these medals were re-issued with the corrected 9 August date. This piece is cast, while the references describe the issue as being die struck.
