| Additional information |
George III died in January 1820 after a decade of incapacity, and the Royal Mint had been quietly preparing coinage for the transition. This pattern crown is among several trial pieces produced as the mint worked toward a new coinage standard — the same process that would culminate in Pistrucci's St George reverse becoming the definitive type under George IV. Whether this specific pattern was a serious contender or an exploratory strike is debated; pattern crowns of this transitional moment exist in multiple die combinations, and KM#PnB80 represents one branch of that unresolved lineage.
