This bronze medal, created in 1831 by British medalist Benjamin Wyon, depicts a portrait of King William IV in profile facing right, with the inscription "WILLIAM THE FOURTH" surrounding the portrait. The medal commemorates the reign of William IV and is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The detail in Wyon's work captures the King's likeness with a realistic quality.
