Description
George III (1760-1820), Crown, 1819 LX, laureate head right, PISTRUCCI below truncation for engraver, date below, toothed border both sides, legend surrounding GEORGIUS III DG BRITANNIARUM REX FD. Rev, St George and dragon right, PISTRUCCI in exergue, legend as order of the garter motto in French reading HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE, edge inscription DECUS ET TUTAMEN ANNO REGNI LX (S.3787; ESC. 216; Bull 2013).
Well-toned example, lacking the conventional high relief * stop after TUTAMEN, this stop is in place after the LX as a comparison. A variety recorded in the most recent of Spink guides. Some general nicks and surface markings. About extremely fine, with a rarer variation for the year and edge inscription.
