King George IV had a very short reign 1820-1830. The smallest denomination made for every day usage was the Farthing. Struck in copper it had the King’s head in a laurel wreath with Britannia seated wearing a helmet on the reverse. This was the fi rst type of Farthing struck under George IV and the coins feature his first Laureate head.
