This framed embroidery is a commemorative sampler created to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, which took place in June 1953. The sampler features the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, including the crown, lion, and unicorn. Along the bottom, there are figures representing soldiers in ceremonial attire. The border of the sampler incorporates floral emblems representing the four nations of the United Kingdom: the red rose for England, the thistle for Scotland, the daffodil for Wales, and the shamrock for Northern Ireland. The inscription at the bottom states: "I MADE THIS IN 1953 TO COMMEMORATE THE CORONATION OF OUR DEAR QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND".
