Medal ten został wybity w celu upamiętnienia koronacji Edwarda VII i królowej Aleksandry. Co ciekawe, medal ten pokazuje pierwotnie zaplanowaną datę koronacji, jednak ceremonia musiała zostać przełożona na 9 sierpnia 1902 roku, ponieważ król wymagał natychmiastowej operacji, ponieważ zachorował na ropień brzucha.

Istnieją również białe i (rzekomo) złote odmiany tego medalu.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

This medal was minted to commemorate the coronations of Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. Interestingly, this medal shows what was the originally scheduled date for the coronation, however the ceremony had to be postponed until the 9th of August 1902 because the king required immediate surgery having fallen ill with an abdominal abscess.

 

White metal and (allegedly) gold varieties of the medal also exist.
