Comment

Commemorative medals struck for Royal Visits during the 1920s and 30s.  Visits were often used to raise moral after the horrors of WWI, as well as help connect the Royal Family to the British public and solidify its position after revolution dispensed with many of the old Royal Families of Europe.
