Coronation handkerchief, George VI

I bought two handkerchiefs in an antique shop (jumble bric-a-brac overflowing place). I tried to look it up to find out more about it, figuring images would be out there. I'm not finding any.


(I washed it, so it needs to be ironed again, but it had two creases before;
if I get it home and iron it and scan it, I might replace this image.)


I've found these two on etsy and ebay (click the images to see those listings), but not one like the one I got.

Here's another one at the Victoria and Albert museum, also different:

I got another one, too, a cotton child's handkerchief printed in three colors:
