"Coronation of William IV" is a gold medal designed by William Wyon in 1831, depicting a profile portrait of William IV, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in high relief. This medal, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was likely struck to commemorate the coronation of William IV on September 8, 1831, as indicated by the inscription "CROWNED SEP. 8 1831."
