Description
Glass mug. Small clear glass commemorative mug with gold rim. "E II R" on front. On either side of lettering is a lion and a unicorn holding up a crown.
Object History
The coronation usually takes place several months after the death of the previous monarch, as it is considered a joyous occasion that would be inappropriate when mourning still continues. This also gives planners enough time to complete the elaborate arrangements required. Elizabeth II was crowned on June 2, 1953, despite having acceded to the throne on February 6, 1952, the instant her father died. British law states that the throne is not left 'vacant' and the new Monarch succeeds the old immediately.
Marks/Labels
