This medal comes from the Lipfert home, 270 York St, Subiaco, where the Lipfert family lived from 1910 to 1989. The medal itself is round (diameter 31mm) silver coated, and on one side has embossed the heads of King George and Queen Mary, wearing their crowns, and the words 'King George V and Queen Mary'. On the other side a swan is embossed in the centre, with the words 'Western Australia' underneath it, and around the edge 'To commemorate their Majesties Coronation, June 22nd 1911'. At the top of medal is small metal ring, through which one link, attaches medal to a bar. This bar, and another above are linked together by a red, white and blue striped ribbon. On the bars are inscribed 'Fear God and Honour the King'. A single pin is attached to the top bar, and this serves to attach the medal to clothing.
