| Obverse description | Fourth laureate bust of King George III facing right, engraved by Thomas Pingo, with flowing hair tied with a ribbon and detailed curls rendered in high relief. The king's effigy is unarmored and undraped, presenting a classical portrait style consistent with late 18th-century British coinage. The legend GEORGIVS·III DEI·GRATIA· runs around the periphery, separated from the bust by a raised rim. The overall execution is characteristic of a proof or pattern striking, with sharp, well-defined features and a mirrored field. |
