Talk:King Edward VII Coronation Medal

Medal versions
The gold version of the medal is confirmed by auction records, including  which describes the medal as: "Edward VII, Coronation 1902, Official Gold Medal, by G W de Saulles, crowned bust right, rev crowned bust of Queen Alexandra right, 55mm, 90.06g, in red leather case of issue [...] 1,410 specimens struck"

Other coronation medals and medallions were probably issued: as commercial souvenirs, by local authorities or by other British Empire countries. Some of these show up on eBay. These different medals may have led to mistakes in earlier versions of this article. Verbcatcher (talk) 21:26, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Article update of 4 April 17. I have added a photo of the official wearable medal and adapted the text to relate to this award. Some of the previous text relates to the non-wearable medallion produced as a purchase souvenir item by the Royal Mint (https://24carat.co.uk/frame.php?url=1902coronationmedallion.html). Focus on the wearable medal ensures consistency with the related Wikipedia articles on Coronation and Jubilee medals listed at the base of the article page. The above auction cataloge entry also refers to the Royal Mint medallion as this was designed by de Saulles, while the wearable medal was designed by Fuchs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helensq (talk • contribs) 18:40, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Eligibility
As of 2 February the infobox stated Eligibility Commonwealth citizens. This was clearly wrong as the British Commonwealth was established by the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, so I changed it to Eligibility British Empire citizens (citation needed). I have since noticed that the King Haakon VII of Norway article says that he was awarded the medal when he was Prince Carl of Denmark. Although no citation is given in that article, this justifies the removal the Eligibility claim from this article. Verbcatcher (talk) 02:49, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
