King Charles Coronation Medal and Fatal Mistake
A large number of activists on social media have discovered that there is a huge and embarrassing error in the medal for the coronation ceremony of Charles III as King today, Saturday, over the United Kingdom. Can you discover it in less than 10 seconds by looking at its image above?
Although the mistake “made” by the organizers of the historic inauguration was of a simple kind, it was difficult to fix, because it was discovered yesterday, Friday, that is, hours before the coronation, and because they made hundreds of thousands of it.
And the medal, nickel silver, will be awarded to more than 400 people, each of whom made any effort in the coronation process.
The fact of the “existing” error and what is really there is that it is an intended optical illusion, which makes you see the date of coronation as May 6, 2033 in the image only, and it is an image distributed by the British government to the media, after light manipulation, because of which a positive controversy arose about the medal and the inauguration in the communication sites .
Yesterday, Friday, British Minister of Culture Lucy Frazer said while launching the medal that those interested in obtaining it can “breathe a sigh of relief, because the history written on it is correct (..) It is a reminder of the important role that every person played at this moment in history,” as she put it.
And whoever navigated the communication sites, yesterday and today, found many talking about the coronation in their chats about the “error” contained in the medal, and had it not been for that trick that made the correct date seem like a mistake, the medal might have passed without anyone knowing about it.
As for what was mentioned in the British media about the distribution of the medal, it is that it will include members of the British armed forces, police, firefighting, emergency services, prisons and many others. Also, from the information published about it, it is a descendant of the first medal that was produced in 1603 on the occasion of the coronation of King James I.
