King George V's Coronation Medal, 1911 attributed to Sir William Russell, Knight - from Glasgow - of Scottish interest


Full sized silver issue (circa 16,000 were struck). Unnamed as issued in box of issue (in damaged but repairable condition). The box is post-box red card with a lion atop of a King's crown in black and the words "Coronation Medal" above in capitals and below the date "1911". On the bottom of the box in pencil are the words "Medals belonging to Sir William Russell 3rd Bart". It was accompanied by a miniature of the same but I did not procure it, which I now regret as I did not realise until some time later that the box had been identified on the underneath to have been the property of Sir William Russell (as the notation mentions "Medals" in reference to the miniature)
