George IV, Halfcrown, Laureate Head and Garnished Shield, VG

This is the first time we’ve been able to offer these iconic halfcrowns of George IV. They feature a regal portrait of George IV by Pistrucci, adorned with a laurel wreath on the obverse, symbolizing victory. The reverse features the intricate crowned and garnished shield of the Royal Arms by Jean Baptiste Merlen. Struck in sterling silver and dated 1820 or 1821, these halfcrowns usually come very heavily worn as they circulated for almost 100 years. We are offering them in VG grade – well circulated, but still showing all the main features. Grab one while you can, who knows when they will next be offered.
