First I have I think is a hairlip (its like a paper clip) quite fragile. Secondly I think its a coronation badge? of a king and a disc with a hole and some writing around it

Neat couple of finds Snowdrop. Looks like a Queen Victoria badge. Can you read the writing out.

Thanks creamer. Looks like it is coronation 1911 which means George v. Have looked at all George v memorabilia on google but can't find anything the same. The crown seems to have had some red on it and the writing has had a blue background.
