| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King William IV, engraved by William Wyon, with naturalistically rendered flowing hair and truncated draped bust. The portrait is executed in high relief with fine detail in the hair and facial features characteristic of Wyon's accomplished neoclassical style. The encircling Latin legend reads GULIELMUS IIII D:G: BRITANNIAR: REX F:D:, meaning 'William the Fourth by the Grace of God King of Britain Defender of the Faith'. The legend is set between the denticulated inner border and the beaded outer rim. The field is broad and uncluttered, lending the portrait a commanding presence. |
