| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of George III facing right, rendered in high relief in the neoclassical style by Benedetto Pistrucci. The king's hair flows elaborately beneath a wreath of laurel leaves, with fine engraving detail characteristic of Pistrucci's artistry. The surrounding Latin legend reads GEORGIUS III D:G: BRITANNIARUM REX F:D:, with the date 1818 positioned in the lower exergual area. The engraver's name PISTRUCCI appears within the legend. The mirrored field displays iridescent cabinet toning consistent with a proof or pattern strike. |
