Overview

The reverse side features a crown atop the date '12th DECEMBER 1911', framed by a laurel wreath. It has a small hole at the top, likely intended for wearing as a pendant or on a ribbon.

Historical significance

This token commemorates the Delhi Durbar of 1911, a massive assembly held to mark the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary as Emperor and Empress of India. It was the only Durbar attended by the British monarch in person and the event where the capital of India was moved from Calcutta to Delhi.

Estimated value

$5 - $20 USD (value is significantly reduced due to the hole and heavy surface wear/corrosion)

Care & preservation

Store in a dry, acid-free environment. Do not attempt to clean with abrasive chemicals or polish, as this will damage the historical patina and further decrease its value. Use only a soft cloth for light dusting if necessary.
