King Charles' Coronation is set to take place tomorrow, May 6, and following the ceremony an estimated 400,000 people will receive an official Coronation medal, which will be given to those who helped put the service together.
The medal is a "thank you gift to commemorate the Coronation" and police officers, military personnel and St John Ambulance personnel are among those who will receive one of the special gifts.
However, official pictures of the medals have caused some confusion among royal fans, as they believed the date on the back was incorrect.
At first glance, the date - which is written below King Charles' royal cypher - appeared to read "6 May 2033", putting it a decade out of date and leaving people baffled.
On social media, one person questioned: "Why does it say 2033?"
As another added: "Date is wrong. It's not 2033."
However, upon closer inspection, it seems that the incorrect date was merely a trick of the light, and The Department for Culture, Media and Sport shot down the suggestion of a typo as you can see the medal does actually say 2023.
The rest of the medal features a double portrait of King Charles and Queen Camilla on the front and a version of Charles' royal cypher, a laurel wreath and the date of the Coronation on the reverse.
People are unable to apply for the medal, and those who are eligible to receive it include those who have actively contributed to the official Coronation events in Westminster Abbey and other officially recognised events.
It will also go to serving members of the armed forces who have completed five full years of service before May 6, or participate in armed forces Coronation events.
You can also be eligible for a medal if you are frontline emergency personnel who has been in paid service, retained or in a voluntary capacity, dealing with emergencies as part of their conditions of service, and completed five full calendar years of service on May 6.
Living individual recipients of the George Cross or Victoria Cross are also eligible, as are prison services personnel who are publicly employed and have completed five full years of service.
