Description
George IV (1820-30), Crown, 1822, laureate head left, B.P. for Benedetto Pistrucci below, toothed border surrounding both sides, legend surrounds GEORGIUS IIII DG BRITANNIAR REX FD. Saint George slaying dragon right, date in exergue, B.P. to upper right of exergue, WWP on ground line below lance for William Wellesley Pole, edge inscription DECUS ET TUTAMEN. ANNO REGNI SECUNDO (S.3805; ESC. 251; Bull 2318).
A scarcer year, some subtle edge bruises and minimal nicks, once cleaned in the past. Nevertheless about extremely fine in the overall strike, an academic example.
