Overview

Features the laureate head of King George IV (using the Roman numeral IIII) facing right. The inscription 'GEORGIUS IIII D:G: BRITANNIARUM REX F:D:' surrounds the portrait on the obverse.

Historical significance

This coin represents the transition from the Regency to the formal reign of George IV. It is notable for the use of 'IIII' instead of 'IV' and was part of the Great Recoinage era following the Napoleonic Wars.

Estimated value

$40.00 - $150.00 (varies greatly based on wear; the shown specimen appears heavily circulated/damaged)

Care & preservation

Store in a PVC-free coin holder to prevent chemical corrosion. Do not clean or polish the coin, as this removes the patina and significantly lowers its numismatic value. Handle only by the edges using clean hands.
