Information about effigy: King George III - Small Laureate Head
King George III - Small Laureate Head
|
The massive re-coinage programme by the Royal Mint in 1816 necessitated a new effigy of the monarch. Pistrucci's initial portrait of King George III has become known to collectors as the "bull-head George". He could not engrave it from life since King George III was insane. The design met such public hostility that it was withdrawn and replaced with a new one the next year. It is known (together with the version where the King's bare shoulders are seen) as the Bull Head portrait. |
