Elizabeth II Coronation Coin Glass Mug

This English glass mug was specially crafted to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Taking place on June 2nd, 1953, the Queen's coronation made history as the first (and only) televised coronation in the history of the British monarchy. It is believed that approximately 27 million people in the United Kingdom alone tuned in to watch the 25-year-old Elizabeth don her crown for the first time. Souvenir items such as this commemorative mug became highly sought-after remembrances of the event. This example by Thomas Goode & Co. is among the finest of its type, engraved with the details of the coronation and the Queen's initials, and further inset by a commemorative silver coin.
