dond Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I found this neat little coronation badge. The details are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Don - as you will know there are always hundreds of different commemorative badges being sold for each public occasion. Presumably, this was made to be given to Customers as a memento - unusual with his full details. The slim alternative , is that if the Coronation procession went down Fleet Street, that he was selling window spaces for people to view the procession. With a badge he could see who had paid in advance ? Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi Mervyn, I did a google search on coronation badges after I got this one. You are absolutely correct that there are dozens of designs. I like the detail in the design and it is made of aluminum. The other thing that struck me is when you have a change of leadership like this there is usually a lot of hope and optimism. It is hard to imagine that catastrophe was right around the corner.
