Product Description:
Scarce is this quality and hard to come by in Australia.
In 1825, a significant change was made to the design of King George IV sovereigns, with the introduction of William Wyon's "bare head" effigy. This updated design was paired with a crowned ornate shield of royal arms, artfully crafted by Jean Baptist Merlen. The "bare head" sovereigns, like the ones featured below, are the scarer kind, the "bare head" sovereigns make a great addition for anyone looking to add a scarce sovereign to their collection!
Obverse: bare head of King George IV facing left by William Wyon
Reverse: Crowned ornate shield of royal arms by J.B. Merlen
