The four quarterings of the Royal Arms each contained in a shield and arranged in saltire with, in the intervening spaces, a rose, a thistle, a sprig of shamrock and a leek; in the centre the Crown and in the base the date of the year, 1953.

Obverse designer: Gilbert Ledward
Reverse designer: Cecil Thomas/Edgar Fuller

The coronation crown was an interesting departure from tradition, featuring the monarch on horseback; the first time this had been done since the reign of Charles I. Gilbert Ledward designed the obverse and the reverse was a joint effort by Edgar Fuller and Cecil Thomas. The edge has the words ‘FAITH AND TRUTH I WILL BEAR UNTO YOU’.
