A breathtaking product of the Royal Mint's highest craftsmanship, this proof Sovereign is a paragon of neoclassical elegance and artistic precision. The portrait of George IV, inspired by Chantrey and engraved by William Wyon, radiates imperial authority, while Jean-Baptiste Merlen’s reverse design delivers heraldic splendor in exquisite detail.
Obverse: The left-facing bust of King George IV is styled in classical form, with carefully engraved curls and smooth, cameo-textured frost. The surrounding Latin legend reads "GEORGIUS IV DEI GRATIA 1826."
Reverse: Features a superbly rendered crowned shield of arms of the United Kingdom, encapsulating the arms of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Hanover. “BRITANNIARUM REX FID: DEF:” encircles the design.
Graded NGC PF63 Ultra Cameo, this example boasts immaculate mirrored fields and frosted devices that leap from the surface with striking clarity. A commanding and visually magnetic piece, especially admired for its contrast and rarity in this elite proof format.
