| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by the royal cipher of King William IV of Hanover, formed by the interlaced script monogram 'WR' (Wilhelmus Rex) rendered in an ornate calligraphic style with decorative scroll flourishes extending laterally into the field. A royal crown surmounts the cipher, while the regnal numeral 'IV' appears in the lower field beneath the monogram. The design is unencircled, with the cipher occupying the full central field against a plain background. |
