RMW Collection of England and Great Britain- 20th Century Coronation Medals

I have shown some Victoria 60th anniversary Jubilee medals previously and so will stick to Coronation Medals here, in probably the last installment of this series.

I will include the official medals of Edward VII, George V and George VI here. To my knowledge, Elizabeth II did not issue official Coronation Medals, although many unofficial ones were done.

it is my understanding that Queen Elisabeth ll issued a 9 coin, Coronation commemorative Mint set in 1952, dated 1953.

There is  a proof set of coins from 1953. I have one of them.

This is in common with previous monarchs either during their Coronation Year or soon after, such as Victoria in 1839, Edward VII in 1902, George V in 1911, and George VI in 1937.

But I havent seen a mention of an official Coronation Medal. Several unofficial ones were made.

Here is my example of a 1911 proof set, for the Coronation of George V. This is the no gold version of the set and was bought raw, but has since been slabbed.

I have bought a proof 1911 half sovereign separately. Here is a picture of that piece as well as that of a spare proof halfcrown of the same year.
