From the box base: 
"The coronation of King Charles III, on Saturday 6th May 2023, marks the start of a new era for the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. During the ceremony, the King is anointed with holy oil, blessed and consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and receives the orb, coronation ring and sceptre. 
This special collector's edition 1000 piece montage puzzle portrays the tradition and grandeur of the coronation ceremony, including the 14th-century King Edward's Chair and King Edward's Crown, and celebrates the beginning of His Majesty King Charles III's reign."

When I first saw this jigsaw on sale I hesitated to buy it, although the artwork was marginally better than the ones on offer from other cardboard puzzle manufacturers. I actually expected it to be reduced to clear after the event, but this was not the case: it seemed to sell out pretty quickly. For a while there were secondhand copies offered on eBay but they were fetching as much as a new copy, so I decided to wait until the prices dropped. At last, after a couple of months I found a reasonably priced one and here it is. Not at all challenging but still enjoyable, so I'll keep it with my vintage coronation puzzles from past eras, at least for the time being.
