Polychromed wood painted with the state imperial crown over the ERVII cypher and coronation regalia, as carried by the former naval and military officers who acted marshals known as Gold Staff Officers (GSOs) in Westminster Abbey on Coronation Day.

Gold Staff Officers (GSOs) were selected to the coveted position by the Duke of Norfolk, the hereditary Earl Marshal of England, to seat the large numbers of guests invited to the Coronation. Since at least the coronation of George III in 1761, the Earl Marshal employed Gold Staff Officers to assist, each being equipped with a ceremonial baton.
