King Charles III Coronation Medal

The King Charles III Coronation Medal (French: médaille du couronnement du roi Charles III) is a commemorative medal created to mark the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, which took place on 6 May 2023.

The UK issued more than 400,000 coronation medals, awarded to individuals who contributed to the coronation, recipients of the UK's highest honours, and select British military personnel, frontline emergency workers, and public prison service staff with five years of service. The British coronation medal was also gifted to a select number of Australians, Canadians and New Zealanders.

Canada issued 30,000 coronation medals, awarding them to select members of the Canadian Armed Forces and Public Service, as well as individuals who made significant contributions to the country or achieved accomplishments that brought credit to Canada.

The British and Canadian medals are both made of nickel silver and have identical ribbons. However, the two medal designs differ. The British medal features effigies of both the King and Queen (left profiles), while the Canadian medal only features the King (right profile). On the reverse, the British medal has laurels, the royal cypher, and the Tudor Crown, whereas the Canadian medal displays the Canadian royal cypher with the Canadian Royal Crown over a sunburst design.
