| Obverse description | Laureate effigy of King William IV facing right, with the engraver's initials 'W.W.' incuse on the truncation of the bust. The legend encircles the portrait in Latin, identifying the monarch by name and royal titles. The portrait reflects William Wyon's characteristically refined neoclassical engraving style, with careful attention to facial detail and drapery. The field is smooth and deeply struck, consistent with a pattern piece produced to a proof-like standard. |
