GREAT BRITAIN: George V, 1910-1936, AR coronation medal, MY-309, The King George V Coronation Medal; profiles of King George V and his wife Queen Mary in coronation robes, facing left // crowned Royal Cypher above the date of the coronation, 22 June 1911, with new ribbon, AU. The medal was designed by the Australian sculptor Bertram Mackennal. It was the first British Royal commemorative medal to be awarded to people who were not in attendance at the coronation and, as well of those involved in the ceremony, it was given to selected dignitaries, officials and members of the armed forces, both in Britain and across the Empire. On 30 June 1911 a special ceremony was held in the grounds of Buckingham Palace for King George V to present medals to all members of the Colonial and Indian contingents who had represented the overseas troops in the Coronation procession. The ceremony lasted two hours, medals being handed by the King to each of the 300 recipients present.
