hi found this a few years back in Laugharne, s wales in front of dylon thomas boathouse in thick mud. i think its a collectable one as it has a regd number and the makers mark "SALE" on it. also the date june 26th coronation date, that i beleive did not take place as the king was unwell??

A lovely medallion. It was struck to commemorate the crowning of King Edward VI in 1902. To make it cleare I had to click on the pic and found pic was a little too large to see properly, try and reduce the size if you can and repost it, I would like to see it as is..Probably South African
What a shame the silver has deteriorated, It was manufactured in Pewter and Silver added after.
Well done mate.

I'm glad this thread started up, Lovely find by the way Mick, as I found a medallion a couple of months ago No where near the same quality, in fact it is so thin it looks as if it could of been mass produced by punching them from a sheet.



Not too sure of the date, although under the microscope it could be 1902, the reverse is difficult to make out, but I think it shows two jockey's mounted just before a jump. Old Eddy liked the gee-gees.
What do you guys think?
Has anyone found or seen one before?
