Default Badge AR 1902

Hello everybody,

I’m new on this forum and this is my first post. I present you an old English unknown badge. I don’t know exactly what it is, can somebody help me with the identification?

Thank you.

Best regards from Switzerland.

I dont know but it could be something to do with the Coronation or perhaps a gift for Boer War veterans.

P.B.

I would agree with 8thfoot. AR is Alexandra Regina and the item was possibly a presentation badge following the Coronation of King Edward the Seventh on 9 August 1902.

I think the AR is actually 'Alex Rice' as above and it should be returned to me immediately...
