Sovereign 1830 George IV, Coin from United Kingdom

Sovereign 1830 George IV, Coin from United Kingdom (demonetised 1891)

Coin	Sovereign 1830 George IV

The reform coinage Sovereign of 1817 onward was issued as a normal circulation type coin, and also as a proof.

Pistrucci's laureate portrait of George IV, used on the sovereign 1821-25, earned the king's ire, perhaps because the engraver accurately depicted the king's obesity. A slimmer portrait by William Wyon was used 1825-30 and is shown here. All the dates are scarce.

The only other British coinage dated 1830 is the silver one through four pence issued in the Maundy sets.
