-Coronation Bank 1911

"Coronation Bank" is a cast iron coin bank created in 1911 by the likely duo, Sydenham & McOustra. The bank features a portrait of King George V surrounded by a floral wreath and the inscription "Coronation Bank." The top of the bank is adorned with the royal crest, which includes a crown and two lions. This piece is a charming example of commemorative artwork, a popular style during the Edwardian era. The detailed craftsmanship and intricate design of the bank, which currently resides in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, make it a fascinating example of early 20th century decorative arts.
