Extract from a Medals website:- The King reviewed the British fleet at Spithead, Portsmouth, on 16 August 1902, seven days after his coronation. The review was originally planned for 28 June (as on this medal) but both the coronation and the review had to be postponed because of the King's ill health. The Union-Castle Line was formed in 1900 from the merger of the Union Line and Castle Shipping Line. It operated a fleet of passenger liners and cargo ships between Europe and Africa from 1900 to 1977. Listed to on this website to retail for US$90. Diameter of 40 mm Weight 29.4 grams ACTUAL IMAGES |
