New Military Coins from The Royal Mint
ENGRAVED IN HISTORY

George IV went outside of the normal Royal Mint process and insisted that a new, more flattering portrait was commissioned and therefore his Sovereigns have two different portraits – the Laureate and Bare Head, causing much conflict between the designer of his Laureate portrait, the fiery Benedetto Pistrucci, and William Wyon.
