Rare small collection of early 20th century British civic coronation medals issued by the Borough of St Marylebone, London. Includes King Edward VII coronation commemoratives dated 1902 naming Mayor Edmund Boulnois M.P., together with related royal souvenir medals. The 1902 coronation is particularly notable as it was originally scheduled for June 26th but was dramatically postponed following King Edward VII’s sudden illness and emergency appendicitis operation — making these medals interesting reminders of one of the most unusual royal events of the Edwardian era. Condition varies with wear, suspension damage and age-related marks throughout.
