Silk jacquard woven ribbon commemorating the Coronation of Queen Victoria. The ribbon has a white tabby ground with a polychrome pattern.

Beneath is a large rose in pale and deep pink, from which is suspended a blue ribbon edged in gold bearing the motto of the Garter. Along the ribbon's edges are more smaller roses representing England, some in pale pink and white, some in pale and dark pink, and green shamrocks representing Ireland, and pink and green thistles representing Scotland. The ribbon has been machine-stitched onto a blue silk backing.
