| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King George IV facing left, modelled by William Wyon in a refined neoclassical style. The legend GEORGIUS IV DEI GRATIA encircles the portrait, with the date positioned in the exergue below the truncation. The king's mature features are rendered with fine detail, including a notable variety in which an extra tuft of hair appears behind the royal ear. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the portrait to dominate the design. |
