George IV, 1828, a uniface trial in bronze by T. Halliday, bare-headed bust right, edge plain, 42mm, 26.29g (cf. BHM 1333-4). Extremely fine or better £80-100

This obverse was used with two reverse designs, Patron of the Arts and Improvement in the Art of Coining, the latter dated 1828 and struck with a lettered edge. Stylistically, the portrait owes much to Wyon’s rendition of the monarch on the coinage of 1825-30
