Comments:
There is a pin attached below the reverse top turnover, so this ribbon could be worn as a favour, possibly to celebrate the actual coronation in 1911.

There is no name nor reference woven on the reverse of this bookmark. However, there is a great deal of similarity as to design, structure and portrait used in the bookmark, gb240: Complimentary Dinner . . . 1911 (incorporating portrait of King George V), which was made by GRANT. There is also a great deal of symmetry to the GRANT postcard gc92 - George V & Mary (with woven title), all be it with the Queen on the Kings left, whilst on his right on the bookmark.
