This silver coin, created by William Wyon in 1817, depicts a profile portrait of King George III, the British monarch from 1760 to 1820. The coin features a laurel wreath around George III's head, and the inscription "Georgius III D.G. Britanniarum Rex" (George III, by the Grace of God, King of the Britons). The coin is a prime example of medallic art, a genre that combines visual artistry with historical significance.
