| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King George V facing left, rendered in high relief within a toothed border. A circumferential Latin legend encircles the field, proclaiming the King's full royal titles. The date 1911, commemorating the coronation year, appears within the legend, and the engraver's initials DRG are placed beneath the King's truncation. |

| Additional information |
This is a restrike, not a period piece. The original George V coronation medals were issued in 1911; this silver version was produced nearly nine decades later, almost certainly as part of the Royal Mint's retrospective commemorative program active around the turn of the millennium. The X# prefix in Krause's catalog designates it as a non-circulating fantasy or restrike issue rather than a coin of the realm.
