Coronation of Queen Caroline 1722 - 1732

This silver medal, created by John Croker in 1722-1732, commemorates the coronation of Queen Caroline, wife of King George II. The medal features a profile portrait of the Queen, depicted in a regal manner, with her hair styled in a fashionable updo and adorned with a crown. The inscription "CAROLINA. D.G. MAG. BRIT. REGINA" encircles the image, which translates to "Caroline, by the Grace of God, Queen of Great Britain." This small, but detailed, medal serves as a testament to the artistry and commemorative nature of medallic production in the 18th century.
