A square commemorative shortbread tin produced for Marks & Spencer to mark the 60th Anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II (1953–2013). The regal purple lift-off lid features gold scrollwork, red roses, heraldic trumpeters, and the Gold State Coach decorated with festive bunting. The cream side panels depict marching Royal Guards and the procession carriage drawn by horses.
This commemorative tin was released in 2013 to mark the Diamond Jubilee milestone of Queen Elizabeth II's 1953 coronation. Originally filled with all-butter Scottish shortbread petticoat tails, Marks & Spencer designed this piece as a souvenir tin for British households to collect and keep.
