Obverse description Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King William IV, engraved by William Wyon in a naturalistic Neoclassical style, with finely rendered curling hair and a strong, aged profile. The truncation of the bust is plain and unadorned. The peripheral legend in Latin reads GULIELMUS IIII D: G: BRITANNIAR: REX F: D:, distributed around the full circumference of the coin. The field is smooth and slightly concave, and the entire design is enclosed within a fine dentilated border.
