I'm looking for information on a 1953 brass bell that has to do with the 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II?

I'm trying to find some information on an antique brass bell from the 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Near the top of the bell is a crown and I believe the letters HM. On the inside of the bell it says England. There may have been some other letters inscribed on the inside of the bell as well, but I can't recall what they were. I'm actually looking for this information for a patron at the library I work at. I normally work circulation but we're short staffed so I'm also helping with Reference as well, and I was asked for any information I could find on this bell that she owns. She didn't remember all the details of it aside from what I've already listed, but will be in contact to give me a more thorough description. However, if anyone has any information on this antique item or (especially) knows of any reliable websites I could use to get information on the item, I would greatly appreciate it. She wasn't very precise in what kind of information she was looking for, so anything that has to do with the history behind this item, descriptions of the physical attributes of the bell, monetary worth, etc would be of help.
