William Wyon's effigies are particularly noteworthy because they were featured on the "Bare Head" coinage of George IV's reign. This refers to the fact that the king is depicted without a laurel wreath or other headwear, a departure from previous British monarchs on coinage. The bare head design is attributed to Wyon, and it's considered a distinctive and elegant element of these coins.
