This proof crown depicts King George IV in profile, wearing a laurel wreath, and is a fine example of the work of Italian-born medalist Benedetto Pistrucci. The coin's inscription reads "Georgius III D:G: Brittanniae Rex" and was created in 1821. This coin is a proof, meaning it was struck with special care for display purposes, and is now a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
