King Edward VII Coronation Medal 1902, Regimental Sergeant Major A Stillwell, Royal Irish Regiment

Silver ovoid medal designed by Emil Fuchs, with conjoined busts of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of Denmark, facing right. On the reverse, the royal cypher surmounted by crown, underneath the date, '26 June 1902' (the coronation was actually delayed until 9 August 1902 because King Edward developed appendicitis), with a raised border of laurel leaves. The ribbon is dark blue with a central red stripe and white edges.

The silver medal was issued to members of the Royal family, VIPs, senior government officials and service officers who attended the coronation ceremony or coronation parade. The bronze medal was issued to selected non-commissioned officers and other ranks at the coronation parade.
