"Coronation of George IV" is a bronze medal created by Benedetto Pistrucci in 1821. This circular medal depicts a profile portrait of George IV, the King of the United Kingdom, wearing a laurel wreath and facing right. The inscription "GEORGIUS IIII D.G. BRITANNIARUM REX" (George IV by the Grace of God, King of the Britons) circles the portrait. The medal, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to the artistry of Pistrucci, who was a renowned medalist and engraver.
