Identification note: Multiple near-identical designs were produced in 1953 by different towns and private makers; size, edge, and issuer not visible, so a precise catalog attribution is not possible. | Design shows a young crowned bust right without legend and a reverse with EIIR/ER monogram within a wreath and the legend THE CORONATION OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II with date 1953, in brass/gilt. These attributes match generic private souvenir medals widely issued for the 1953 coronation that are cataloged in BHM among many near-identical types. However, issuer/maker’s name or initials, diameter, edge (plain/reeded or stamped), and any signature are not visible; without these diagnostics the precise BHM (or Eimer) listing and metal/size variety cannot be confirmed.
