Elizabeth Eustice writes [in reference to Gwinear Show; Record Entries; May 1937]:

Interesting to see the photo of the Coronation Commemorative Medal!   I looked back at the Cornishman report for 1939 on the website history and note that 3 Coronation Commemorative Medals were presented on that day.
One to the special prize winner of the Cattle Section – H Johns (offered by Mr G H Eustice – my grandfather).
Another presented to the special prize winner of the Heavy Horse Section – Messrs T Collins & Sons (offered by Mr G Eustice, my uncle who I understand was a secretary of the show for a number of years).
The third was awarded to the competitor in the Dairy Section gaining the highest number of points – Miss I G Roach (offered by my aunt Miss O Eustice, who herself was a champion butter maker.)

After a bit of digging on the internet, it appears that SCB could well refer to S. C Beddoes & Co, a known Birmingham based manufacturer of badges and medals during that period.
