$12.25 - $70.00
The King Edward VII Coronation Medal was issued in 1902 to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, which took place on 9 August 1902. Originally planned for 26 June 1902, the ceremony was postponed due to the King’s illness. The medal was presented to members of the Royal Family, dignitaries, military personnel, and officials who participated in the coronation celebrations.
Awarded in gold, silver, and bronze versions to distinguished guests, senior military officers, and selected participants in the coronation parade and ceremonies. The silver medal was typically presented to officers and officials, while the bronze version was often awarded to non-commissioned officers, other ranks, and civic personnel involved in the event.
The circular medal features conjoined crowned busts of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra facing left on the obverse. The reverse bears the royal cypher surmounted by a crown, flanked by the date of the coronation, and surrounded by a decorative wreath.
The ribbon is dark blue with a narrow central red stripe, reflecting the colours of the United Kingdom and symbolising loyalty and royal service.
