CORONATION MEDALS
Award By The Queen As
Personal Souvenir
The Queen is to award the official silver Coronation Medal as a personal souvenir of the Coronation.
The medal will be distributed throughout the Commonwealth and Empire. It has not yet been decided who will be entitled to it.
Medals for people in the Commonwealth will be dispatched from Britain in bulk. Those selected for the award in Britain will receive it as soon as possible after the Coronation.
The medal, IJin in diameter, will show the Queen crowned and robed and looking to the right; the other side will bear the Royal Cipher “E.R. II” surmounted by a crown and the date of the Coronation. It will be worn with a dark red ribbon edged in white and and with two narrow dark blue vertical stripes near the centre. Women not in uniform will wear the medal on the left shoulder with the ribbon tied in a bow.
